How Remifentanil Affects Pain Sensitivity During Surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests how a pain-relief medication called remifentanil changes the way your body responds to pressure pain. Researchers will measure your pain sensitivity before and after receiving this medication to better understand how it works.

This study compares two pain medications, fentanyl and remifentanil, used during laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The goal is to see which one helps you recover bowel function faster and control pain better after surgery.
This trial tests whether a new under-the-tongue pain medication (sublingual sufentanil) helps people recover better after surgery compared to standard oral pain relief. You'll be randomly assigned to receive either this new medication or a traditional pain reliever when you need it after your operation.
This trial tests a fixed-ratio combination of two common anesthetics (propofol and remifentanil) given through a target-controlled infusion during surgery. It aims to find the best way to keep patients aged 65 or older asleep and pain-free during noncardiac surgeries lasting at least an hour.
This study compares two pain-relief medications—tegileridine and sufentanil—given after major abdominal surgery to see which works better for pain control and helps your stomach and bowels recover faster. You'll be randomly assigned to receive one of these medications.
This trial tests a way to lower side effects related to remifentanil, a strong pain medicine used during surgery. It may help by making surgery safer for people who are otherwise healthy enough for elective (planned) operations.
This study tests how remifentanil (a pain medicine given during surgery) affects brain activity patterns. It may help doctors better control anesthesia for safer surgeries.
