This study measures how much people enjoy the feeling of the pain medicine fentanyl when it's given during a routine medical procedure. The goal is to understand if a different drug can reduce the pleasant effects of opioids, which may help lower the risk of addiction.
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 avoiding opioid pain medicines during anesthesia can help prevent confusion after surgery in older adults having stomach or bowel surgery. You would receive opioid-free anesthesia instead of standard opioids.
This study tests different ways of giving propofol (a medicine to make you sleep during surgery) to see which method works best. If you are having planned surgery with a breathing tube, this trial might help improve how anesthesia is given.
This trial tests a device that tracks your pain level during surgery to help doctors give you the right amount of painkiller. The goal is to reduce side effects like nausea or breathing problems after the operation.
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.
