Study of a new pain drug after abdominal surgery
This trial tests a new medication called HRS-2129 for managing pain after abdominal surgery. It is for adults who will have moderate to severe pain after their operation, and aims to see if the drug can help control that pain safely.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT06666985RecruitingPhase 4
Spinal morphine for pain relief after major abdominal surgery
This trial tests whether a single injection of morphine into the fluid around the spine can provide better pain relief after planned laparoscopic or robotic abdominal surgery. If you are having one of several types of major abdominal surgery that lasts at least 2 hours and requires a hospital stay of at least 1 day, this study may be an option.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06165991RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two types of numbing medicine for lung surgery pain
This trial compares two forms of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) injected near the spine to reduce pain after lung surgery. It aims to find which works better for controlling pain after a lobectomy (removal of a lung lobe).

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for postoperative analgesia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 175 recruiting postoperative analgesia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a postoperative analgesia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a postoperative analgesia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
