Pain relief first without sleep drugs in the ICU after brain surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a way to manage pain and agitation after brain surgery without using sedatives (sleep-inducing drugs). It aims to help patients stay more awake and alert while recovering in the intensive care unit.

This study tests a combination of pain-relief methods given before, during, and after brain surgery to see if they better control pain and help you recover with fewer side effects. It's for adults having surgery to remove a brain tumor.
This study tests a new way to manage pain and sedation for people on breathing machines in the ICU. It compares a personalized plan to usual care to see if it improves pain relief and recovery.
This study looks at whether closely monitoring opioid and sleep medicines during and after surgery can lower organ problems and death in older adults at high risk. If you qualify, your team will track how these medicines are given to help keep you safer in the postoperative period.
This study tests different ways to manage pain and help older patients get moving again sooner after major surgery. If you are 65 or older and in the ICU, this trial may help you recover more comfortably and quickly.
This study tests whether a special sleep-promoting program can help patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) after surgery sleep better. If you or a loved one are recovering from surgery in the ICU, this program might improve sleep quality and recovery.
