Pain control for hand surgery with two medication approaches
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of giving pain medicine during hand surgery to see which works better. One method uses a standard IV pain medicine, and the other adds pain medicine to the numbing solution used in a special arm block.
