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.
Who can take part
- You are having trauma or orthopedic surgery with both general and regional anesthesia.

This study checks whether using a pain-activity monitor during robot-assisted colorectal surgery can help the surgical team choose the right pain medicine. It may improve comfort and reduce the chance of giving too much or too little pain medicine.
This study compares two ways of giving pain medicine during spine surgery in older adults: one guided by a special monitor (NOL) and the usual method. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and fewer side effects.
This study tests whether a special monitor (NOL) that measures your body's reaction to pain can help doctors use less opioid pain medicine during hip surgery. If you are having hip surgery and are generally healthy, this might be a good option.
This study follows adults in the hospital after surgery to understand how pain and opioid (strong pain medicine) use affect them. Your answers on questionnaires help researchers see what happens after different types of anesthesia.
This trial tests a new way to monitor pain during laparoscopic surgery. It may help your doctor adjust pain medicines to keep you comfortable.
This study tests a new monitoring device called NOL that measures pain signals during spine surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to help doctors give the right amount of pain medication during surgery, which may reduce side effects and improve recovery.
