Comparing two pain relievers after surgery for sleep apnea patients
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two pain medicines given after surgery to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects in people who have obstructive sleep apnea. It aims to improve safety and comfort for sleep apnea patients recovering from non-cardiac surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea or are at high risk for it.
- You are scheduled for non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia.
- You will need a patient-controlled pain pump after surgery.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Your surgery is not on your chest or lungs, and you are not planned for ICU or a breathing machine after surgery.

This trial tests a combination of two medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) given in small doses to help with pain after surgery. It is for people who have sleep apnea or are at risk for it, and who are having chest or belly surgery with a scope.
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 trial compares two pain medicines given after heart surgery to see which works better and has fewer side effects on blood pressure and heart rate. It may help your recovery if you had heart surgery recently.
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 study tests whether a new pain medication (oliceridine) given through an IV patient-controlled pump can reduce chronic pain after lung surgery. Participants will receive either oliceridine or a standard opioid for pain control after a minimally invasive lung resection. The study will follow patients for several months to see if they develop long-term pain.
