First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a drug called anrikefon for treating internal pain after laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. It is given through a pump that lets patients control their own pain relief. The trial includes 140 adults having colorectal surgery. The goal is to see if anrikefon provides better pain control with fewer side effects than standard painkillers.
