NCT ID NCT01536301

Summary

This study compared two strong pain medications given through an IV after hip replacement surgery. It aimed to see if oxycodone caused 50% fewer side effects—like nausea, vomiting, and itching—than the commonly used morphine. The trial involved 246 adults recovering from hip surgery to find a safer way to manage their post-operative pain.
