New combo offers longer pain relief after hernia surgery
NCT ID NCT06319859
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding morphine to a standard spinal anesthetic (bupivacaine) could provide longer pain relief after hernia repair. Fifty adults undergoing surgery were randomly assigned to receive either the combination or bupivacaine alone. The main goal was to see how long it took before patients needed additional pain medication.
