This trial tests two medicines, parecoxib and lidocaine, to see which works better at preventing the pain when propofol is given into a vein. It may help you if you are having elective surgery and want a more comfortable start to anesthesia.
This study compares two medications—ondansetron (a nausea-prevention drug) and lidocaine (a numbing agent)—to see which one better reduces the burning pain some patients feel when propofol is injected to start general anesthesia. If you're having elective surgery, this trial may help make your anesthesia experience more comfortable.
This trial tests three different medicines (lidocaine, paracetamol, and dexmedetomidine) to see which one works best to reduce the burning pain some people feel when the muscle relaxant rocuronium is injected during anesthesia. It's designed for adults having elective surgery under propofol.
This study tests a new way to give propofol, the medicine that puts you to sleep for surgery, to reduce the burning or stinging pain it can cause when first injected. You may be able to join if you are having planned (non-emergency) surgery and are not given certain other medicines beforehand.
This trial compares two pain relievers, hydromorphone and nalbuphine, given through a patient-controlled pump after cesarean section. It aims to find which provides better pain control with fewer side effects.
This early study compares two anesthesia approaches during lumbar decompression (back surgery to relieve pressure on nerves). It may help improve comfort and safety during surgery, but whether you personally benefit is not yet known.
