New approach to liver surgery pain could reduce opioid use

NCT ID NCT03238430

Summary

This study tested two alternative pain management methods for patients recovering from liver surgery. Researchers compared continuous local anesthetic injection near the surgical site with continuous spinal pain relief to see which better reduces morphine use after surgery. The trial involved 186 patients and also looked at whether these methods could prevent long-term chronic pain developing months after surgery.
