Recruiting studies
- NCT06355271Recruiting
Pain relief and recovery after planned C-section
This trial studies how well pain is controlled and how quickly women recover after a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia. It compares different pain relief methods to find the best approach.
BellinzonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03427736Recruiting
Anesthetics and pain medicines study for children
This study looks at how children process certain anesthetics and pain medicines. It aims to find the best doses for safety and effectiveness.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 6 months–17 years - NCT07877519Recruiting
Sedation options for pulsed field ablation in atrial fibrillation
This study compares two ways to keep patients comfortable during a procedure called pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation: conscious sedation (you're awake but relaxed) versus general anesthesia (you're fully asleep). The goal is to find which method works better and is safer for patients.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06995885Enrolling by invitation
A study to improve tracking of opioid use in the fentanyl era
This study aims to develop a better tool for recalling and tracking opioid use patterns, especially with fentanyl. It may help people who use opioids outside of medical settings to more accurately report their use.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT03735563RecruitingPhase 4
Less invasive surfactant timing with different pre-medications
This study tests whether giving a pre-medication before a less invasive lung treatment (surfactant) improves breathing in premature babies. It may help some babies avoid more invasive ventilation while still getting the lung medication they need.
OuluAges Any age - NCT07864155Recruiting
Pain relief without opioids for thyroid surgery
This study compares two ways to manage pain during and after thyroid surgery: one uses opioid painkillers, the other uses non-opioid medicines. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids can still provide good pain control and fewer side effects.
MalatyaAges 18–65 - NCT07857655RecruitingPhase 4
Intraoperative methadone for pain after head and neck cancer surgery
This trial tests whether giving methadone during your head and neck cancer surgery helps control pain right after the operation. Methadone is a long-acting painkiller that might reduce pain for up to a day or more, potentially improving your recovery experience.
Portland, OregonAges 18–89 - NCT07840183RecruitingPhase 4
Epidural versus other pain relief for open ventral hernia repair
This study compares two ways to manage pain after hernia repair surgery: using an epidural (a small tube in your back that delivers pain medicine) versus other pain medications that aim to reduce opioid use. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and helps you recover more comfortably.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT07794852Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound-guided spinal anesthesia for prostate surgery
This study tests a new way to give spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine injected in your back) for prostate surgery. It uses ultrasound to measure the fluid space around your spinal cord to find the right dose, which may make the anesthesia safer and more effective.
IstanbulAges 40 years+ - NCT05609877Recruiting
Testing LISA breathing treatment for very preterm newborns
This trial is studying whether giving a lung “surfactant” medicine through a thin tube (called LISA) helps very premature babies with breathing problems. It aims to see if this approach improves care for babies born around 24 to 30 weeks gestation who still need oxygen support.
AalborgAges 6 months–7 months - NCT07734194Recruiting
Studying a new sedation combo for afib treatment
This trial tests a mild sedation method using remimazolam and fentanyl during a procedure called pulsed-field ablation for atrial fibrillation (afib). It aims to find a safe and effective way to keep you comfortable without deep sedation.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT06636578RecruitingPhase 4
Adding dexmedetomidine to pain block for heart surgery
This study tests adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to a standard pain-blocking injection (ropivacaine) used during heart surgery. The goal is to see if it reduces pain and speeds recovery better than the injection alone.
Al FayyumAges 20–65 - NCT07629323Enrolling by invitation
Spinal Pain Relief During Hiatal Hernia Surgery
This trial tests whether injecting pain medication directly into the spinal fluid during a minimally invasive stomach surgery (called fundoplication) helps reduce pain after the operation. Fundoplication is used to treat severe acid reflux.
Karlstad, Värmland CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07557576Recruiting
Pain management approaches for children having cleft surgery
This study compares two types of anesthesia (with and without opioid painkillers) for children undergoing cleft lip or palate surgery. The goal is to see which approach better controls pain after surgery and reduces agitation as the child wakes up.
ZagrebAges 3 months–7 years - NCT07556523RecruitingPhase 4
Recovery quality after heart valve replacement with different sedation
This study compares how well patients recover after a minimally invasive heart valve procedure (TAVR) when given different types of sedation. The goal is to find which sedation approach helps patients feel better and recover faster after the procedure.
Glenview, IllinoisAges 18–90 - NCT07485517Recruiting
Deep vs Moderate Muscle Block for Hysterectomy
This study compares two levels of muscle relaxation (deep versus moderate) during hysterectomy surgery to see which may be better for recovery. If you are a woman scheduled for a planned hysterectomy and are in generally good health, you might be eligible.
Menoufia, Eg.mnAges 18–60 - NCT07476482Enrolling by invitation
Shared decision-making during planned C-section under spinal anesthesia
This trial tests whether involving you in decisions during your planned C-section can improve your experience. You will be awake under spinal anesthesia and the study focuses on helping you feel more in control.
AlexandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07443254RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
IR-led deep sedation study for image-guided procedures
This study tests if a radiologist can safely give deep sedation medicine (ketamine) for certain procedures instead of general anesthesia. It might help you avoid general anesthesia while still being comfortable.
Charleston, West VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05985850RecruitingPhase 2
Can cannabis help with opioid addiction treatment?
This trial tests if adding a specific cannabis product to standard methadone treatment helps people with opioid use disorder. It's for adults over 25 who recently started methadone and have used cannabis before.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 25 years+ - NCT07389096RecruitingPhase 4
Pain relief without opioids for teens having spine surgery

Port SaidAges 8–18 - NCT06832046Recruiting
Intranasal fentanyl for pain in pediatric emergencies

StrasbourgAges 1–17 - NCT07368738Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
IV Pain Meds for Shock Wave Lithotripsy
This study tests whether giving two pain relievers—acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ketorolac (an anti-inflammatory)—through an IV during shock wave lithotripsy helps control pain better than standard care. You may qualify if you need this kidney stone procedure and don't have certain health conditions.
Saint John, New BrunswickAges 19 years+ - NCT07322419RecruitingPhase 4
