Pain relief after skin cancer surgery: new drug vs standard
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares a new pain medication (suzetrigine) to a common pain reliever (Norco) for people recovering from Mohs micrographic surgery, a specialized procedure to remove skin cancer. The goal is to see if the new medication works better and is safer for post-surgery pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are not currently taking medications that interact with a liver enzyme called CYP3A
- You are willing to take either the new medication (suzetrigine) or the standard medication (Norco) for pain relief

This study tests a new non-opioid pain medicine called suzetrigine compared to the usual pain relievers (like ibuprofen and acetaminophen) after skin cancer surgery on the head or neck. The goal is to see if it controls pain just as well with fewer side effects.
This study compares two pain relievers after certain dental or jaw surgeries: suzetrigine (a new non-opioid painkiller) and Norco (a hydrocodone/acetaminophen combination). The goal is to see which medicine gives better pain relief after surgery, and to offer a potentially safer option.
This trial tests a new pain medication, suzetrigine, for people having breast surgery (not mastectomy) who are expected to have moderate pain. It checks if this drug works well compared to standard options.
This study tests whether suzetrigine, a new pain medication, can reduce the need for opioids (strong painkillers) after cardiac or bariatric surgery. The goal is to help patients manage pain with fewer opioid-related side effects.
This study tests a new medication called suzetrigine to help manage pain after knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see if it reduces pain and discomfort better than current treatments.
This study compares two pain relief approaches after knee replacement surgery to see which works better. If you qualify, you will receive either the study medication or standard care to manage your pain.
