A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Nasal Nicotine Spray and Nasal Normal Saline Spray for Pain, Postoperative. Completed, enrolled 95 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This prospective, randomized, double-blind study will enroll nonsmoking female subjects undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery under general anesthesia.
