Comparing morphine and oxycodone for kids' pain after surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two common pain medicines—morphine and oxycodone—given through a PCA pump after surgery in children. The goal is to see which one causes less nausea and vomiting, so your child can recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 and 18 years old.

- Your child is generally healthy or has mild to moderate health issues (ASA score 1-3).
- You (the parent or guardian) are willing and able to give permission for the study.
