Northeast Node Webinar on Pain and Opioid Use After Surgery (Dec. 3, 2026, 12pm ET)
Join the Northeast Node for the next installment of their Science Series on December 3, 2026, from 12-1pm ET:
Pain and Opioid Use After Surgery: Risk Factors and Novel Interventions
Presented by Madelyn Frumkin, PhD, Assistant Professor and Licensed Clinical Psychology, Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth College
Approximately 10-30% of patients experience chronic pain after surgery, increasing risk for persistent opioid use and opioid use disorder. This presentation will cover risk factors for chronic pain and opioid use after surgery, including recent research leveraging smartphones and wearable devices to identify dynamic risk factors and improve prediction of surgical outcomes.
We will also discuss growing evidence for digital interventions to prevent and treat these problems at scale.
Learning objectives
- Identify current trends and associated evidence-based practice in behavioral health and/or digital therapeutics.
- Identify at least three standard research methods and analyses to improve interpretation of findings.
- Consider how relative evidence-based practices or digital therapeutics can be implemented across settings.
