Summary

This study looks at how a person's genes affect the way nalbuphine, a painkiller, works after surgery. Researchers will collect blood samples from 263 adults having abdominal or pelvic surgery and track their pain, nausea, and sedation levels for 24 hours. The goal is to find genetic links that could help doctors give safer, more effective pain relief and reduce the risk of opioid problems.
