First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study compares two pain control methods after robotic prostate removal: one using opioids and one using only non-opioid medicines like ketamine, ketorolac, and acetaminophen. About 100 men aged 40-75 with prostate cancer will take part. The goal is to see if the opioid-free approach controls pain just as well while reducing opioid use.
