Pain relief and early movement for older ICU patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests different ways to manage pain and help older patients get moving again sooner after major surgery. If you are 65 or older and in the ICU, this trial may help you recover more comfortably and quickly.
