Fentanyl patch absorption in ICU patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well fentanyl patches work in ICU patients who are not stable. It aims to understand if the patch is absorbed properly in these patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new way to manage pain and sedation for people on breathing machines in the ICU. It compares a personalized plan to usual care to see if it improves pain relief and recovery.
This study looks at how the sedative remifentanil works in critically ill patients who are underweight or normal weight. It aims to find the right dose for these patients while they are on a breathing machine in the ICU.
This study compares two different pain and sedation medicines (fentanyl and morphine) given continuously through an IV to help patients who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. The goal is to see which medicine works better and is safer for keeping you comfortable and calm.
This trial tests a nebulized (inhaled mist) form of fentanyl in healthy volunteers to see how it works in the body. It is a first-in-human study of the drug given through a nebulizer, which might help people with acute pain in the future.
This study tests a new drug, CS-1103, to see if it can safely help reverse the effects of fentanyl (a strong opioid) even after a naloxone block. Healthy volunteers who have used opioids before will be given fentanyl and then the study drug, while researchers monitor safety and how the drug works.
This trial compares two inhaled pain relievers, ketamine and fentanyl, to see which works better for sudden, severe pain in the emergency room. You would receive one of these medicines through a breathing mask to help your pain quickly.
