Reduce breathing and other problems from remifentanil during surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a way to lower side effects related to remifentanil, a strong pain medicine used during surgery. It may help by making surgery safer for people who are otherwise healthy enough for elective (planned) operations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 70 years old
- Be scheduled for an elective (planned) surgery
- Your overall health should be mild to moderate (ASA class 1 to 3)
- No history of neurologic (brain/nervous system) disorders or mental health disorders
- No history of serious trouble or allergy from opioid pain medicines like remifentanil
- No history of drug abuse, and your lung and heart problems must be controlled (not “uncontrolled”)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two methods to keep your blood pressure low during ear, nose, or throat surgery: one uses only remifentanil (a pain medicine), and the other adds nicardipine (a blood pressure medicine). The goal is to find which approach works best with fewer side effects.
This trial compares two drugs given during nose surgery to help keep your blood pressure steady. It may help reduce bleeding and improve recovery.
This trial tests a newer anesthesia drug (remimazolam) combined with alfentanil against a standard drug (propofol) combined with alfentanil for people having chest surgery. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer.
This trial compares the anesthesia medicines remimazolam and propofol during major surgery to see how patients do afterward. It may help guide which anesthetic is safer or leads to better recovery in higher-risk patients.
This trial tests the pain medicine sufentanil to see how it affects blood pressure and heart rate during brain bypass surgery. It may help doctors better manage anesthesia for people having this type of surgery.
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.
