New hope for safer pain relief in kids after surgery

NCT ID NCT04724252

Summary

This study is testing if giving children the medication gabapentin around the time of chest surgery can safely reduce their need for strong opioid painkillers afterward. Researchers will compare 60 children who receive gabapentin to those who receive a placebo, measuring pain levels and opioid use. The goal is to find a way to manage post-surgery pain while lowering the risks of opioid side effects and dependency.
