Epidural or IV? study seeks best way to deliver opioids after surgery
NCT ID NCT06559969
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two common methods of giving extra opioids (strong painkillers) to patients recovering from open abdominal surgery who already have an epidural. Researchers want to see if adding opioids to the epidural fluid works as well as giving them through an IV, and whether one method causes fewer side effects. About 80 adults aged 18 to 85 will take part.
