Effect of Remifentanil on Burst Suppression Ratio
This study tests how remifentanil (a pain medicine given during surgery) affects brain activity patterns. It may help doctors better control anesthesia for safer surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests a way to reduce side effects like nausea and vomiting from a common pain medicine used during surgery. If you are having elective surgery, you may qualify.
This trial compares two ways of giving the pain medicine remifentanil during anesthesia. It looks at how well the computer models predict the right dose for each patient.
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 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 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.
