Summary

This study looks at whether a person's genetic makeup influences how well the painkiller nalbuphine works after abdominal or pelvic surgery. Researchers will collect blood samples from 263 adults before and after surgery to analyze genes linked to pain relief. The goal is to improve pain management and reduce the risk of opioid-related problems in the Pakistani population.
