About
John G. Hanlon is a clinical researcher whose work centers on the prevention and prediction of persistent postsurgical pain (PPSP), with a particular focus on gynecologic surgery. His major contributions include leading a landmark prospective cohort study that identified key sociodemographic, surgical, and psychologic risk factors—including individual pain sensitivity—for PPSP following hysterectomy. This work, published in 2021 and already garnering 26 citations, has helped shift clinical understanding toward a more holistic, patient-specific model of postoperative pain management. By demonstrating that psychological and sensory profiling can predict chronic pain outcomes, Hanlon’s research offers actionable insights for preoperative counseling and risk stratification. His findings are especially impactful for the large population of women undergoing hysterectomy, where persistent pain remains a significant, underrecognized complication. Hanlon’s work bridges anesthesiology, gynecology, and pain psychology, making him a notable voice in the movement toward personalized perioperative care. His prospective study design and rigorous methodology set a high standard for future research in surgical pain outcomes.
