NCT02811991

Brief Summary

Paracetamol,a classical analgesic agent,constitutes an essential component of multi-modal analgesia. This medication is generally safe, well tolerated and effective within recommended daily dose.The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Paracetamol Injection as adjuvant to morphine-based post-operative analgesia, as well as to explore the reasonable dosage of paracetamol among Chinese population under above-mentioned circumstance.
