First seen May 15, 2026 ยท Last updated May 15, 2026

Summary

This study compares IV acetaminophen (a non-opioid pain reliever) to standard opioid pain care for people hospitalized with a small bowel obstruction. About 18 adults will be enrolled to see if this approach can control pain just as well, while possibly shortening hospital stays and avoiding opioid side effects. The goal is to find a safer way to manage pain during this condition.
