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.
