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 pain medicine (methadone) for children and teens having spine fusion surgery for scoliosis. It aims to see if it helps control pain safely.
This trial tests if methadone given through a vein can control pain better after heart surgery done through a breastbone incision. It may be an option for adults having planned heart surgery who are expected to wake up and breathe on their own within 12 hours.
This study tests whether giving a single dose of methadone during surgery can improve pain relief after the operation, possibly reducing the need for other painkillers and helping you recover more comfortably. It is for people having certain planned surgeries that require an overnight stay in the hospital.
This trial tests different ways to manage pain after cleft palate repair in young children. The goal is to find which approach works best to lower pain and improve recovery.
