Frailty and pain medicine dosing for older adults after GI surgery
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether frailty affects the right dose of nalbuphine (a pain medicine) for older adults recovering from laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery. It aims to find a safer, more effective pain control plan for patients 65 and older.

This study looks at how frailty affects pain after chest surgery in patients aged 60 and older. It uses a special pain pump and may help doctors better manage recovery for older adults.
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 trial tests a new pain medicine (Tegileridine) against a standard one (Sufentanil) during laparoscopic surgery. It is for patients who have a high risk of nausea and vomiting after surgery.
This study tests whether giving the pain medicine nalbuphine at different times during knee replacement surgery affects blood pressure and pain control in older adults. It may help find the best timing to reduce pain and keep vital signs stable.
This study compares a lower dose (82.5 mg) of pregabalin (a nerve pain medication) to a standard dose (165 mg) to see if it works just as well for pain after keyhole abdominal surgery. The goal is to reduce the need for stronger painkillers like opioids.
This trial tests whether adding fentanyl or nalbuphine to a common numbing medicine (bupivacaine) during gallbladder removal surgery can improve pain relief afterward. It is for generally healthy adults who are not pregnant and have no serious gallbladder problems or drug allergies.
