Continuous Nefopam infusion after pancreas surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving a steady dose of a painkiller called nefopam through an IV can help manage pain after a Whipple procedure (pancreatoduodenectomy). It aims to see if this approach reduces the need for other pain medications and improves recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have an elective (planned) Whipple procedure
- You are willing to take part in the study
- You do not have any neurological, muscular, or psychiatric conditions that make communication difficult
- You are not allergic to nefopam or similar medications
- You do not have a condition called hyperalgesia (increased sensitivity to pain)
- You have not been taking opioid painkillers regularly before surgery

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a Whipple procedure: one is a shot of morphine into the fluid around the spine, and the other is a small tube placed under the skin at the surgical cut that delivers pain medicine continuously. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
This study tests whether avoiding opioids (strong painkillers) during surgery for pancreas or duodenum cancer can lead to a smoother recovery. If you are having a large incision in your belly for this surgery, you might be able to use only regional anesthesia and other non-opioid medicines.
This trial tests whether using a combination of non-opioid drugs during general anesthesia can reduce side effects after laparoscopic pancreatic surgery. If you are scheduled for this type of surgery and are between 18 and 80 years old, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a device that monitors your pain level during surgery using a special index called the Nociception Level Index. It may help doctors manage your pain better without using too much medicine.
This trial tests whether adding nefopam to standard pain medicine (paracetamol and ketoprofen) improves pain control after hip replacement. It looks at both short-term and long-term effects to see if this combination helps patients recover with less pain.
This Phase 2 study tests whether oral nefopam can reduce pain after total knee replacement done with spinal anesthesia. It looks at whether this medicine works better than the usual post-surgery pain plan and how safely it can be used.
