Comparing two pain medicines after surgery for people with sleep apnea
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether a newer pain medicine called oliceridine works as well as a standard one (sufentanil) for controlling pain after surgery in people with sleep apnea. It aims to find a safer and more effective way to manage pain after your operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or are at high risk for it based on scoring criteria.
- You are scheduled for elective non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia (not on your heart or lungs).
- You will need patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCA) for pain after surgery.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are not planning lung surgery, an epidural, or ICU admission after surgery.

This trial tests if a newer painkiller (oliceridine) causes less nausea after a specific type of brain surgery than the standard painkiller (sufentanil). If you are having CPA region surgery and will receive a patient-controlled pain pump, this study may help find a better option for managing pain with fewer side effects.
This study compares a new pain medicine called oliceridine with morphine or sufentanil to see which works better after lumbar spine surgery. It aims to find a safer and more effective way to manage pain after your operation.
This study tests a new pain medicine called oliceridine after laparoscopic upper abdominal surgery. It aims to improve pain control and recovery compared to standard opioids.
This trial compares two intravenous painkillers given after heart surgery to see which one controls pain better and how they affect heart function. If you are having heart surgery, the study may help find a safer, more effective way to manage your pain.
This study tests a new pain medication called oliceridine given through an IV after lung surgery to see if it helps reduce long-term pain. Participation may help improve pain management after surgery.
This study compares a new painkiller (oliceridine) to a standard one (sufentanil) to see which works better at stopping coughing when you first go under anesthesia for surgery. It may help you have a smoother start to your procedure.
