Summary

This trial is testing whether or not personalized medicine based on genetic testing can improve pain control and management for people who have surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English or Spanish speakers with chronic pain, acute post-surgical pain, or depression. Adults and children over 8 years old may qualify if they are being considered for treatment with certain opioids (tramadol, hydrocodone, codeine) or SSRIs. Exclusions include life expectancy under 12 months, cognitive impairment preventing consent, institutionalization, organ transplant history, prior pharmacogenetic testing relevant to the study.
What is being tested?
The trials test whether genetic testing can guide better pain management after surgery (Acute Pain Trial), improve chronic pain therapy (Chronic Pain Trial), or reduce depression symptoms more effectively than standard care (Depression Trial). Participants will be randomly assigned to immediate genetic-guided therapy or standard care with delayed testing.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects aren't specified but may relate to the use of opioids like tramadol, hydrocodone, codeine in managing pain and SSRIs for treating depression. These can include nausea, drowsiness, constipation for opioids; and fatigue, sexual dysfunction and mood swings for SSRIs.
