Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: post operative pain
  • Age: 100 years or below
  • Gender: All

The purpose of this study is to investigate how using PCEA, which stands for Patient-Controlled Epidural Analgesia, affects the use of opioids given through an IV or taken by mouth. Opioids are a type of medicine used to reduce pain, and the study aims to see if PCEA can help in reducing their usage.

Participants in the study will be monitored for their opioid intake while using PCEA. The study will involve tracking the amount of opioids used and comparing it to typical usage without PCEA. This may include regular check-ins and assessments to gather data on opioid consumption.

  • Who can participate: Eligibility criteria are not specified.
  • Study details: Participants will use PCEA and their opioid intake will be monitored. A placebo may be used if applicable.
