Personalized pain management in the ICU
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to manage pain and sedation for people on breathing machines in the ICU. It compares a personalized plan to usual care to see if it improves pain relief and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new way to manage sedation (medication to keep you calm and comfortable) for people on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if adjusting sedation based on your breathing effort leads to better outcomes and shorter time on the machine.
This study looks at how patients in the intensive care unit wake up from sedation and pain medication after being on a breathing machine. The goal is to understand how the medications affect recovery and to improve how they are stopped.
This study compares different pain medicines for people in the intensive care unit (ICU) who are not on a breathing machine. The goal is to find which approach works best and is safest for managing moderate to severe pain.
This trial tests a new sedation protocol for adults in intensive care who need strong pain relief or sedation medicines. It aims to make sedation safer and more comfortable, and includes people on ECMO (a heart-lung machine) or a ventilator (breathing machine) for severe breathing problems.
This study looks at pain in patients who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit. It aims to understand pain better so doctors can help manage it more effectively.
This study tests a way to manage pain and agitation after brain surgery without using sedatives (sleep-inducing drugs). It aims to help patients stay more awake and alert while recovering in the intensive care unit.
