This study tests whether gabapentin can reduce how much opioid pain medicine children need after certain major chest or heart surgeries. If it works, it may lower opioid-related side effects while still helping with postoperative pain.
This study tests a new pain medication (LY4515100) in people recovering from wisdom tooth extraction surgery. The goal is to see if it reduces pain better than current options after the procedure.
This study compares pain-medication approaches during and after removing at least one lower impacted wisdom tooth (a tooth that’s stuck). It may help find a safer or more effective way to control dental pain after surgery.
This trial tests whether giving gabapentin before pediatric tonsil (and possibly adenoid) removal can reduce postoperative pain. It may help children feel more comfortable after surgery while still being safe to use in the right patients.
This trial studies whether taking ibuprofen before tooth extraction and bone graft surgery can lower how much pain you feel afterward. It may help by changing the body’s pain response during healing.
This trial tests a device called NeuroCuple to see if it can help manage pain after wisdom tooth extraction and lower the need for opioids. It may be a good option if you're having your wisdom teeth removed and want to avoid strong pain medicines.
