Comparing two medicines to prevent injection pain
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two medicines (nalbuphine and lidocaine) that are given through an IV before the anesthesia drug propofol, to see which one better prevents the burning or stinging pain some people feel when propofol is injected. If you are having planned surgery, this could make your anesthesia experience more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are having a planned (non-emergency) surgery that needs general anesthesia with propofol

This study tests two different medicines to see which one works better at reducing the pain when propofol (a common anesthesia drug) is injected at the start of surgery. If you are having planned surgery, you may be able to take part and help find a way to make this injection more comfortable.
This study compares two medicines—ondansetron (usually used for nausea) and lidocaine (a numbing medicine)—to see which one better reduces the pain you might feel when the anesthesia drug propofol is injected into your vein. If you are having planned surgery with general anesthesia, you may be able to help find a more comfortable way to start anesthesia.
This study compares three common pain relievers—lidocaine, paracetamol (acetaminophen), and dexmedetomidine—to see which works best to reduce the burning pain you might feel when the drug rocuronium is injected. If you are having planned surgery, this could help make your anesthesia experience more comfortable.
This trial compares two medications added to a numbing injection around your abdominal muscles during belly surgery to help manage pain after surgery. The study aims to find which combination works better and lasts longer.
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 study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine (local anesthetic) at the surgery site helps reduce pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. If effective, it could offer a simple way to improve comfort after your operation.
