      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Randomization description: The method used is block Randomization in which using a technique of sealed opaque envelopes (SOE) to minimize selection bias, ensure comparable groups, and reduce confounding variables.
Eligibility of participants are stratified by age, sex and surgery type, then randomly allocated to either Nalbuphine or Tramadol groups 
The randomization procedure are :
1.Assessing eligibility and obtaining informed consent
2.Stratifying participant 
3.Using SOE for treatment assignment 
4.Randomly allocating participants to treatment groups, Blinding description: - Sealed opaque envelopes bearing "N" (Nalbuphine) or "T" (Tramadol) are used for randomization.
- Participants and outcome assessors are unaware of the treatment assignments.</study_design>
