Double Blind Randomized Study Into the Efficacy of Codeine Phosphate Analgesia After Cleft Palate Repair in Infants

November 28, 2007 updated by: Institute of Child Health
This study examines the analgesic efficacy of codeine phosphate. It is compared to placebo in infants receiving morphine after surgery. Codeine may be effective enough to make morphine unnecessary.
