How your genes affect pain relief after surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You are having a surgery in your belly or pelvis area expected to take 2 to 4 hours
- Your health is good enough to be classified as ASA 1, 2, or 3 (meaning you are reasonably healthy or have mild to serious but well-controlled health conditions)
- You are not taking certain medications like blood thinners, some antidepressants, or antifungal drugs listed by the study team
- You are not allergic to opioids
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of narcotic addiction

This study looks at whether genetic differences can help predict how much pain you may have after an elective (planned) operation. If you qualify, you may be asked to give consent and share information so researchers can compare pain experiences across people.
This study tests two different pain medicines added to the numbing medication during gallbladder removal surgery, to see which one provides better pain relief after the operation. If you're having this surgery, the study might help you have less pain afterwards.
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 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 study compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic colon surgery: one uses a morphine injection near the spinal cord, the other uses an epidural catheter for ongoing pain relief. The goal is to find which approach works better with fewer side effects.
This study tests if adding labetalol, magnesium sulfate, or lidocaine during gallbladder removal surgery can reduce the need for opioid painkillers after surgery. It aims to improve pain control and reduce opioid side effects.
