NCT ID NCT07294352
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two painkillers, nalbuphine and tramadol, added to standard spinal anesthesia for people having leg surgery. Forty adults will receive one of the two drugs, and researchers will measure how long pain relief lasts and how quickly the anesthesia takes effect. The goal is to see which option provides better pain control with fewer side effects.
