This trial tests whether a combination of two medications helps keep blood pressure steady and reduces bleeding during ear, nose, or throat surgery. It is comparing giving just one pain medication versus the pain medication plus a blood pressure-lowering drug.
This study compares two medicines used during nasal surgery to keep blood pressure stable and reduce bleeding. One is a short-acting painkiller (remifentanil), and the other is a blood pressure-lowering drug (nicardipine). If you are having planned nasal surgery eliminated for participation, you might be eligible.
This trial tests if taking Maxigesic® (a combination of two pain relievers) before surgery can lower the amount of a strong IV pain medicine called remifentanil needed during anesthesia. It may help patients have a smoother recovery with fewer side effects.
This study tests how a pain-relief medication called remifentanil changes the way your body responds to pressure pain. Researchers will measure your pain sensitivity before and after receiving this medication to better understand how it works.
This study compares two pain medicines (alfentanil and remifentanil) given during surgery to see which one provides better anesthesia quality and helps you recover more comfortably. It may help you recover faster and with less pain after your operation.
