Butyrate and taurine for pain after heart surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving two natural supplements, butyrate and taurine, after heart surgery can reduce long-term pain that sometimes develops after surgery. If you're having planned heart surgery, it might help prevent that ongoing pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
