Pain scores in serious brain surgery patients after ICU care
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks back at patients who had brain surgery and were in the intensive care unit (ICU) for more than 24 hours. Researchers want to learn about their pain scores, which can help improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were in an ICU from 2017 to 2020
- You had brain surgery (craniotomy)
- You stayed in the ICU for more than 24 hours after surgery

This study looks at patients who are in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after having surgery at this hospital. Researchers want to understand how general surgery patients do while in the ICU.
This study is looking at whether certain blood tests can help predict the risk of death after surgery in ICU patients. If you have had surgery and are now in the ICU, your blood samples may help doctors learn more.
This study looks at how your immune system and inflammation affect your recovery in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to understand why some patients do better than others.
This study looks at a new way to measure pain in ICU patients who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) and receiving strong pain medicine (opioids). The goal is to see if adjusting pain medicine based on a special pain assessment tool can improve comfort and recovery.
This study tests a new way to bring high-quality palliative care (comfort and support for serious illness) to families of patients in the intensive care unit. If you are a family member of a patient with a severe brain injury or advanced organ failure, this study offers extra support and guidance during a difficult time.
This trial tests whether using a special brain monitor (BIS) to guide sedation after heart surgery helps with recovery compared to standard care. It is for adults who will be on a breathing machine and sedated for more than 6 hours after their operation.
