Two-step propofol dosing to reduce injection pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new way of giving propofol, a medicine used to put you to sleep for surgery, in two steps to reduce the pain you might feel when it is injected. If you are having non-cardiac surgery with general anesthesia, this might make your experience more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for non-cardiac surgery with general anesthesia.
- Propofol will be used to start your anesthesia.
- You will not receive midazolam (a sedative) before the procedure.
- Your IV line will be placed in your arm or hand (not in the elbow area).
- You can communicate and do not have severe memory or emotional conditions.

This study tests two different medicines to see which one works better at reducing the pain when propofol (a common anesthesia drug) is injected at the start of surgery. If you are having planned surgery, you may be able to take part and help find a way to make this injection more comfortable.
This study compares two medicines—ondansetron (usually used for nausea) and lidocaine (a numbing medicine)—to see which one better reduces the pain you might feel when the anesthesia drug propofol is injected into your vein. If you are having planned surgery with general anesthesia, you may be able to help find a more comfortable way to start anesthesia.
This study tests whether raising your arm before receiving propofol (a common sedative) through an IV can reduce or prevent the burning pain it often causes. If it works, it could make anesthesia more comfortable for many people.
This trial compares two medicines (nalbuphine and lidocaine) that are given through an IV before the anesthesia drug propofol, to see which one better prevents the burning or stinging pain some people feel when propofol is injected. If you are having planned surgery, this could make your anesthesia experience more comfortable.
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.
This study compares two different ways of giving the sedative medicine propofol during surgery that requires a breathing tube. The goal is to find which method is safer and works better for people having planned operations.
