Summary

This completed study tested a new painkiller called tegileridine in 150 adults who had gallbladder surgery. Participants received either the drug or a placebo through a vein, along with standard pain management. The goal was to see if tegileridine reduces pain and the need for extra opioids in the first 48 hours after surgery.
