the drug of intravenous patient-controlled analgesia

"The drug of intravenous patient-controlled analgesia" is a non-specific placeholder term used in clinical trial registries (such as NCT04295109) to refer to the analgesic agents administered via an intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) system. In the context of postoperative pain management, particularly following surgeries like laparoscopic hysterectomy, various opioid receptor agonists—such as fentanyl, oxycodone, and butorphanol—are utilized within this modality to provide patient-controlled pain relief while their comparative effects on postoperative gastrointestinal recovery and side effects are evaluated.
