Comparing two pain medicines for surgery nausea risk
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two pain medicines given during laparoscopic surgery to see which one causes less nausea and vomiting after surgery. If you are at high risk for post-surgery nausea, this study might help you recover more comfortably.
