Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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 the painkiller sufentanil for patients having robot-assisted kidney removal. It aims to see if it improves postoperative pain control.
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.
This trial tests whether a new under-the-tongue pain medication (sublingual sufentanil) helps people recover better after surgery compared to standard oral pain relief. You'll be randomly assigned to receive either this new medication or a traditional pain reliever when you need it after your operation.
This trial tests whether adding lidocaine or sufentanil to a standard anesthetic drug (etomidate) helps reduce the dose of remifentanil needed to place a breathing tube comfortably. It may help patients undergoing planned surgery with general anesthesia.
This trial compares two medicines, methadone and remifentanil, to see which one works better for pain after brain surgery. It may help improve your recovery and comfort.
This trial tests if the painkiller sufentanil can protect the heart during leg fracture surgery. It may help patients who are having surgery for a broken leg.
