Phase 4 — The treatment has already been approved. Researchers are tracking how it works in a large number of people over time.
This trial is testing whether giving morphine during coronary artery bypass surgery helps reduce pain after the operation. The study compares two groups: one receives standard pain medication (fentanyl) during surgery, and the other receives morphine at specific points during the procedure. Researchers will measure pain levels at different times after surgery to see which approach works better.
After heart bypass surgery, patients often experience significant pain at the surgical sites, which can slow recovery and affect their comfort. This study wants to find out if this medication can provide better pain control in the hours and days following surgery.

You would be randomly assigned to receive either standard pain medication or the new morphine dosing during your bypass surgery. After surgery, nurses would ask you to rate your pain using a simple numbered scale at specific times over the first 24 hours after you wake up—at 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours. Your participation ends after these pain measurements are completed.
