Spinal morphine for faster recovery after open abdominal surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving morphine into the spinal fluid before open abdominal surgery helps patients recover more comfortably and quickly within an enhanced recovery program. It aims to improve pain control and overall recovery experience.

This trial tests whether a single injection of morphine into the fluid around the spine can provide better pain relief after planned laparoscopic or robotic abdominal surgery. If you are having one of several types of major abdominal surgery that lasts at least 2 hours and requires a hospital stay of at least 1 day, this study may be an option.
This study tests whether giving morphine into the spinal fluid during laparoscopic gynecological surgery improves your recovery after surgery. It might help reduce pain and improve your overall comfort after the procedure.
This trial tests if giving a single injection of morphine into the spinal fluid can improve how well you feel and recover after laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer. The morphine is given through a spinal needle before surgery, and it may help control pain during and after the procedure.
This trial tests whether putting morphine into the spinal area during lung surgery can reduce pain after surgery for people having certain minimally invasive lung operations. It aims to improve comfort and possibly reduce the need for other pain medicines.
This study tests whether adding a small dose of morphine to a numbing injection near the spine (called erector spinae plane block) provides better pain relief after midline belly surgery. It may help reduce the need for other pain medicines and improve recovery.
This trial compares two different medications (morphine and dexmedetomidine) given through a spinal injection to see which provides better pain relief after lumbar spine surgery. If you qualify, you will receive one of these treatments or a placebo to help manage your pain after the operation.
