Opioid-free anesthesia for recovery in older adults
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for older adults having major planned surgeries. One type avoids using opioid painkillers (which can cause side effects), and the other includes them. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids helps you feel better and recover more comfortably after your operation.
