Frailty and pain medicine doses after stomach or bowel surgery
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how frailty (a measure of physical weakness) affects the amount of pain medicine needed after stomach or bowel surgery. The goal is to find the right dose of a pain reliever called nalbuphine for older patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how your genes might affect pain relief from a medication called nalbuphine after abdominal or pelvic surgery. It aims to personalize pain management based on your genetic makeup.
This study tests two different pain medicines (fentanyl and nalbuphine) added to a standard numbing drug, given into the belly during gallbladder removal surgery. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery, with fewer side effects.
This trial tests a combination of two pain-management approaches—a long-acting numbing medicine injected near nerves and a self-administered opioid—to see if they help your gut function better and control pain after bowel or colon surgery.
This study tests whether a lower dose of a pain medicine called pregabalin works as well as the standard dose for controlling pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. The goal is to see if it can reduce pain and the need for stronger painkillers after your operation.
This study is looking at how much pain medicine people need after abdominal surgery. By participating, you will help doctors better predict and manage pain for future patients, which may lead to more personalized care.
This trial compares two pain medicines given during laparoscopic surgery to see which one causes less nausea and vomiting after surgery. If you are at high risk for post-surgery nausea, this study might help you recover more comfortably.
