Drug liking study for surgery patients
This study looks at how much patients like the feeling of a drug given during a procedure. It may help doctors understand which medicines work best for comfort during surgery.

This study looks at how patients feel when they receive fentanyl (a pain medication) before or during a procedure. It aims to see if a second drug, called amisulpride, changes how much they like the fentanyl, which may help prevent misuse.
This study looks at how fentanyl affects brain waves (EEG) and whether those brain changes are linked to how much a person likes the drug. If you are having surgery with fentanyl, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether adding a drug called dexmedetomidine during your surgery can reduce the amount of remifentanil (a strong painkiller) you need. This might help you recover more comfortably after laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
This trial tests whether adding fentanyl or dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) provides better pain relief after knee surgery. It may help find the best option for patients undergoing knee procedures like total knee replacement or ACL repair.
This trial tests if giving two medicines, dexmedetomidine and esketamine, during and after surgery can help you feel better and recover more comfortably. It is for adults having general anesthesia for at least one hour who will use a patient-controlled pain pump afterward.
This trial tests two different pain medicines, nalbuphine and fentanyl, to see which one causes fewer changes in blood pressure and heart rate during the placement of a breathing tube for heart surgery.
