Summary
This study looked at 670 women who had a hysterectomy to see if a spinal injection of morphine works better than morphine given through an IV for controlling pain. The goal was to reduce pain and the need for opioids after surgery. Researchers compared pain scores, side effects, and how quickly women recovered.
