Two-step dosing to reduce pain from a common sleep medication
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to give propofol, the medicine that puts you to sleep for surgery, to reduce the burning or stinging pain it can cause when first injected. You may be able to join if you are having planned (non-emergency) surgery and are not given certain other medicines beforehand.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are having a scheduled (non-emergency) surgery that does not involve your heart.
- You will receive propofol to go to sleep for the surgery.
- You have not received a sedative called midazolam before the surgery.
- The IV line for the medicine is placed in your arm, below the elbow (not in the hand or wrist).

This trial tests two medicines, parecoxib and lidocaine, to see which works better at preventing the pain when propofol is given into a vein. It may help you if you are having elective surgery and want a more comfortable start to anesthesia.
This study compares two medications—ondansetron (a nausea-prevention drug) and lidocaine (a numbing agent)—to see which one better reduces the burning pain some patients feel when propofol is injected to start general anesthesia. If you're having elective surgery, this trial may help make your anesthesia experience more comfortable.
This study tests different ways of giving propofol (a medicine to make you sleep during surgery) to see which method works best. If you are having planned surgery with a breathing tube, this trial might help improve how anesthesia is given.
This study tests whether nalbuphine or lidocaine works better at reducing the pain felt when propofol is injected during general anesthesia. If you are having planned surgery with propofol, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a way to give the anesthetic drug propofol during sleep induction for high-risk patients having major, planned surgery. It uses a computer-controlled pump to deliver the drug, aiming to keep your blood pressure more stable.
This trial tests a new way of giving the anesthetic propofol to keep your blood pressure more stable during surgery. It may help reduce side effects like dizziness or fainting after the procedure.
