New pain pump strategy aims to cut opioid use after surgery
NCT ID NCT07361822
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two different methods of patient-controlled pain pumps to see which one reduces opioid use and improves pain relief after surgery. About 1170 adults having various surgeries will be randomly assigned to one of two pump settings. The goal is to find a smarter way to manage pain that lowers side effects and speeds recovery.
