Sargodha, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–40 - NCT07566663Recruiting
Pain Relief Before Gallbladder Removal Surgery
This study tests whether a pain-relief medication called Anrikefon, given before laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery, helps reduce pain after the procedure. Laparoscopic surgery uses small cuts and a camera, so it's less invasive than open surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06409689Recruiting
Oliceridine for pain relief after upper abdominal surgery
This study tests a new pain medicine called oliceridine after laparoscopic upper abdominal surgery. It aims to improve pain control and recovery compared to standard opioids.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT07388745Recruiting
Comparing two pain blocks for heart bypass surgery
This study compares two different nerve-block injections (one near the spine, one under the shoulder blade) to see which provides better pain relief after heart bypass surgery. If you are scheduled for a planned bypass and are in reasonably good health, you might be able to join.
KütahyaAges 45–85 - NCT07353996RecruitingPhase 4
Finding the right dose of a new IV painkiller after bone surgery
This trial tests a single dose of a new pain medicine called tegileridine fumarate given through a vein right after orthopedic surgery (like spine, hip, or knee surgery). The goal is to find the best dose that works well for pain without causing side effects.
Hanzhong, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07330063RecruitingPhase 2
Pain relief injection after laparoscopic stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests an injection called Anrikefon to see if it can safely and effectively reduce pain after surgery to remove part of the stomach for cancer. The surgery is done through small cuts (laparoscopic), and this treatment is given after surgery to help with pain while you recover.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06936995Recruiting
Comparing pain relief methods for ACL surgery recovery
This trial tests two ways to manage pain after ACL reconstruction: a combination of medications (multimodal analgesia) versus a nerve block in the thigh (femoral block). The goal is to see which approach provides better pain control and recovery.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07657949Recruiting
Nerve block for pain after breast reduction surgery
This trial tests a specific nerve block to see if it can reduce pain after breast reduction surgery, possibly helping with recovery and lowering the need for strong painkillers.
Sivas, SivasAges 18–65 - NCT06765772Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain relief during tummy tuck surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (with numbing medicine) to reduce pain during and after tummy tuck surgery. The goal is to see if combining two blocks works better than one block alone.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 21–60 - NCT07479446Recruiting
Comparing two painkillers for nausea after brain surgery
This trial tests if a newer painkiller (oliceridine) causes less nausea after a specific type of brain surgery than the standard painkiller (sufentanil). If you are having CPA region surgery and will receive a patient-controlled pain pump, this study may help find a better option for managing pain with fewer side effects.
BeijingAges 18–65 - NCT07638514Recruiting
Pain Relief After Heel Surgery: Catheter vs. Single Injection
This study compares two ways to manage pain after foot or heel surgery: using a small tube (catheter) that delivers medication over several days, or a single nerve-numbing injection. Researchers want to see which method works better for your recovery.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07134660Recruiting
Comparing two numbing medicines for lung surgery pain
This study compares two types of numbing medicine (liposomal vs. hydrochloride bupivacaine) injected near the ribs during lung surgery. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief after the operation.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT07578545Recruiting
Pain management after minimally invasive chest surgery
This study tests whether combining a specific type of chest surgery (using small cameras) with numbing injections around nerves reduces pain and the need for strong pain medications after surgery. Researchers want to see if this approach helps patients recover better with less opioid use.
Antalya, MuratpaşaAges 18–75 - NCT07401641Recruiting
Pain control study for oral cancer surgery
This study tests two different pain medicines (dezocine or nalbuphine) combined with sufentanil to see which helps better control pain after oral cancer surgery with free flap reconstruction. It also looks at side effects and how well the transplanted tissue survives.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07388953Recruiting
Nerve block for better pain relief after colon surgery
This study tests adding a special nerve block (peripheral autonomic block) to a standard abdominal wall block to see if it provides better pain relief after minimally invasive left-sided colon surgery. It may help patients experience less pain and use fewer pain medications.
