Light patch for pain after kidney or adrenal gland surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a light-emitting patch placed on the skin can reduce pain after certain kidney or adrenal gland surgeries. The patch might help reduce your need for pain medication after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
