Spinal morphine for pain relief after major abdominal surgery
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
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.

This trial tests if giving a single injection of morphine into the spinal fluid can improve how well you feel and recover after laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer. The morphine is given through a spinal needle before surgery, and it may help control pain during and after the procedure.
This study tests whether adding a small dose of morphine to a numbing injection near the spine (called erector spinae plane block) provides better pain relief after midline belly surgery. It may help reduce the need for other pain medicines and improve recovery.
This trial tests whether a pain-relieving medication (morphine) injected into the spinal fluid during surgery improves recovery after open abdominal surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and help patients recover faster as part of an enhanced recovery program.
This trial tests whether giving a small dose of morphine into the fluid around the spinal cord (intrathecal) can improve pain relief and recovery after keyhole lung surgery. It aims to help patients feel better faster and have fewer complications.
This trial tests whether putting morphine into the spinal area during lung surgery can reduce pain after surgery for people having certain minimally invasive lung operations. It aims to improve comfort and possibly reduce the need for other pain medicines.
This study compares two strong painkillers—methadone given through an IV versus morphine injected into the spine—to see which provides better pain relief and recovery after major abdominal surgery. It may help you if you're having open surgery and want less pain afterward.
