Timing is everything: study tests when to give pain meds to cut opioid use after surgery

NCT ID NCT05685342

Summary

This study tested whether giving a combination pain medication before surgery starts works better than giving it near the end of surgery to reduce opioid painkiller use afterward. Researchers compared these two timing approaches in 154 men having robotic prostate removal surgery. The goal was to see which timing leads to less opioid medication use and better pain control during recovery.
