KonyaAges 18–65 - NCT07375121Recruiting
Comparing two pain pump settings for mixed surgeries
This study compares two ways of delivering pain medicine through an IV pump (called PCA) after surgery. One method gives a steady dose, and the other slowly reduces the dose. The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pain control?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 259 recruiting pain control studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a pain control trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a pain control trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
