NCT ID NCT04578483
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at how well a long-acting painkiller called ERDS works for pain after surgery. Researchers followed 634 adults who received an ERDS injection after anesthesia. They measured pain levels and how much extra pain medicine was needed over five days. The goal was to see if this approach could improve recovery and reduce complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- extended-release dinalbuphine sebacate (ERDS)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a longer-lasting option for managing pain after surgery, potentially reducing complications and the need for other painkillers.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less reliable. The drug's effectiveness and safety need further testing in larger, controlled studies.
