Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Children with cancer aged 3–12 who are scheduled for elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia will receive either nalbuphine or tramadol for postoperative pain management. Investigators will monitor pain scores and common opioid-related side effects such as respiratory depression, nausea/vomiting, and pruritus in the immediate postoperative period. Patients with allergies to the study drugs or on chronic opioid therapy are excluded. The goal is a direct comparison of analgesic effectiveness and safety between the two drugs in this surgical pediatric population.
