Predicting pain medicine needs after abdominal surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study is looking at how much pain medicine people need after abdominal surgery. By participating, you will help doctors better predict and manage pain for future patients, which may lead to more personalized care.

This study observes how much pain medication patients need right after surgery while they're in the recovery room. Researchers want to understand pain patterns to help improve comfort for future surgical patients.
This trial tests two different pain medicines given after surgery to see which one helps patients recover better and feel better sooner. One is a tablet placed under the tongue, and the other is a standard opioid painkiller.
This study compares two pain-relieving medicines to see which works better and helps your stomach recover faster after major laparoscopic surgery. You will receive one of the two medicines during and after your operation.
This trial tests a program to help people with long-term (chronic) pain use less opioid medicine after surgery. It may help you reduce opioid doses while still managing your pain.
This study tests whether giving a single dose of methadone during surgery can improve pain relief after the operation, possibly reducing the need for other painkillers and helping you recover more comfortably. It is for people having certain planned surgeries that require an overnight stay in the hospital.
This trial tests a combination of two pain-management approaches—a long-acting numbing medicine injected near nerves and a self-administered opioid—to see if they help your gut function better and control pain after bowel or colon surgery.
