Low-sugar diet aims to reduce belly-surgery pain
Part of Immune system & allergy, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special diet low in polyamines (a food-related substance) can reduce pain after major abdominal surgery. It compares pain control while you use a patient-controlled morphine pump or take opioid tablets by mouth after surgery.
