Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1) fully understand and voluntarily participate in this study, and sign the informed consent; 2) elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia; 3) subjects with ASA grade I or II; 4) aged from 18 to 70 years old (including the critical value), regardless of gender; 5) body mass index in the range of 18-30 kg/m2 (including the cutoff value); 6) understand the research process and the use of pain scales, and communicate effectively with researchers. 7) Postoperative conditions: a. Within 4 h after surgery (from the end of the last stitch), the NRS pain score of the subjects in the resting state was =4; b. Subject can answer questions and follow instructions and participate in necessary pain assessments as specified by the protocol; c. During and after the procedure, the subject did not develop any clinically significant symptoms or signs, as judged by the investigator, that would significantly increase the risk of the subject using the study drug; d. There was no occurrence of any event during the preoperative drug use, intraoperative surgical operation and intraoperative anesthesia that the investigators thought might increase the risk of the subjects participating in this study, affect the judgment of the study results, or possibly affect the subjects participating in this study.
