Comparing two pain medicines for surgery recovery
Treatments studied
This study compares two fast-acting pain medicines given during surgery to see which one provides better anesthesia and recovery. It may help if you are having a non-emergency surgery that is expected to last 1 to 4 hours and you are generally healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is at least 18.
- You are having a scheduled (elective) surgery that is not on your chest or brain, lasting 60 to 240 minutes, with low expected blood loss.
- You do not have serious heart, liver, kidney, or blood problems, and you have not had a stroke or mini-stroke in the last 6 months.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have allergies to opioids, propofol, eggs, or soybeans.

This study compares two pain medications, fentanyl and remifentanil, used during laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The goal is to see which one helps you recover bowel function faster and control pain better after surgery.
This trial compares the anesthesia medicines remimazolam and propofol during major surgery to see how patients do afterward. It may help guide which anesthetic is safer or leads to better recovery in higher-risk patients.
This trial tests if giving two medicines, dexmedetomidine and esketamine, during and after surgery can help you feel better and recover more comfortably. It is for adults having general anesthesia for at least one hour who will use a patient-controlled pain pump afterward.
This trial compares two anesthesia approaches for emergency abdominal surgery to see which one helps you recover better. One approach uses fewer opioid painkillers (like morphine), which may reduce side effects and speed recovery.
This trial tests whether adding fentanyl or dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) provides better pain relief after knee surgery. It may help find the best option for patients undergoing knee procedures like total knee replacement or ACL repair.
This study compares recovery quality after major urological surgery using either opioid-free or opioid-based general anesthesia. It aims to see if avoiding opioids can improve how patients feel after surgery.
