Summary
This study tested a new drug called cebranopadol for treating moderate to severe pain after a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). 279 adults took either a low or high dose of the drug or a placebo once daily for two days. Researchers measured pain levels over time and how much extra pain medicine was needed. The goal is to see if this drug offers a safe and effective option for managing acute pain after surgery.
