Test pain medicine mix to reduce device pocket pain
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This Phase 1 study tests whether a combination of pain medicines (bupivacaine plus ketorolac and ketamine) works better than bupivacaine alone to reduce pain after placing a new heart device. If you get a new pacemaker/ICD/CRT device and meet other safety rules, you may be asked to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether giving pain medicine soon after an injury (before you reach the trauma center) improves comfort and care. You might be eligible if you’re transported to a participating trauma center and meet specific shock and pain levels.
This trial tests a device that tracks your pain level during surgery to help doctors give you the right amount of painkiller. The goal is to reduce side effects like nausea or breathing problems after the operation.
This Phase 2 study compares two ways of reducing nerve pain after knee replacement surgery (total knee arthroplasty). It looks at whether steroid-enhanced pain medicine works better than a different numbing injection to improve recovery and comfort.
This study tests whether a new numbing medicine, called Radiocaine, is safe and works well for pain. You will have imaging scans and blood tests to see how the drug acts in your body.
This trial tests if adding dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) provides better pain control after heart surgery. The medicine is given as a nerve block before surgery to help with recovery and possibly allow faster breathing tube removal.
This trial tests a pain pump after specific shoulder or knee surgeries to see how well it controls pain. It may help you recover more comfortably after surgery.
