Clinical trials: Intestinal Motility
Feeding; Difficult, Newborn, Growth Failure
Prophylactic Probiotics to Extremely Low Birth Weight Prematures
Mortality and incidence of severe complications is still high among extremely premature infants. Common causes of severe complications in this population are poor nutrition, necrotizing enterocolitis, and severe infections.

Effects of 2 Mu-opiates on Gastrointestinal Transit
Comparison of the Effects of Tapentadol and Oxycodone on Gastrointestinal and Colonic Transit in Humans
Tapentadol is FDA approved for the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain. Due to the dual mechanism of action as an opioid agonist and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, there is potential for off label use in chronic pain.
