Morphine for pain after heart bypass surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving morphine during coronary artery bypass surgery can help control pain after the operation. It is for people having planned heart bypass surgery who are moderately sick and not already on strong pain medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled for planned (non-emergency) coronary artery bypass surgery.
- Your heart pumping strength (ejection fraction) is at least 40%.
- You are not already taking strong opioid pain medications regularly (like morphine or oxycodone).
- You do not have severe liver or kidney problems, or a history of alcohol or drug abuse.

This trial tests a new pain-management technique using nerve blocks (numbing medicine injected near nerves) to help reduce pain and opioid use after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), a common heart surgery. The goal is to help you recover more comfortably with fewer strong pain medications.
This study tests whether special numbing injections placed near specific nerves can reduce pain and improve recovery after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, which is a procedure to improve blood flow to the heart. The injections are given during surgery to help manage pain afterward without needing as many strong opioid medications.
This study gives morphine during gallbladder removal surgery to see how it affects pain afterward. It may help you have less pain and recover more comfortably.
This trial tests whether methadone—a strong pain medication—helps manage pain better after intermediate-complexity surgery. If it works, it could reduce pain and the need for other opioids after your operation.
This trial tests if adding dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) provides better pain control after heart surgery. The medicine is given as a nerve block before surgery to help with recovery and possibly allow faster breathing tube removal.
This study compares different ways to manage pain after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), which is heart bypass surgery. The goal is to find which approach works best and is safest for patients in the early recovery period.
