Sedation Without Opioids for Digestive Scope Procedures
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to keep you comfortable during a scope procedure (like colonoscopy or endoscopy): one using opioid pain medications, and one without. Researchers want to see if avoiding opioids is safe and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests two medicines, remimazolam (a sedative) and oliceridine (a pain reliever), to see if they work well together for sedation during a painless gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy in people aged 65 to 80. It aims to find a safe and effective option for older adults.
This study compares different sedation approaches for ERCP, a procedure that treats problems in the bile ducts and pancreas. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
This trial tests a new sedation medicine (Methoxyethyl Etomidate Hydrochloride) for people having an upper endoscopy or colonoscopy. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe for routine procedures.
This trial tests a combination of two sedatives (anricofen and ciprofol) for deep sedation in older adults having an ERCP procedure. It aims to see if this combination is safe and effective for patients between 60 and 90 years old with mild to moderate health conditions.
This study tests a combination of two medicines to see how well it works for sedation during a painless endoscopy (a tube test of the stomach) in people with obesity. It aims to find the best dose for safer and more comfortable procedures.
This study tests whether avoiding opioid pain medicines during anesthesia can help prevent confusion after surgery in older adults having stomach or bowel surgery. You would receive opioid-free anesthesia instead of standard opioids.
