Pain-guided opioid use during surgery with regional anesthesia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial uses a special monitor (NOL index) to help doctors give just the right amount of pain medicine during surgery. It is for people having trauma or orthopedic surgery who are also getting regional anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
