Summary

This study tested if a painkiller called oxycodone causes fewer side effects than morphine after hip replacement surgery. 246 adults were given one of the two drugs to control pain right after their operation. The goal was to see if oxycodone could reduce problems like nausea, vomiting, itching, and breathing issues by half compared to morphine.
