Low-dose pain medications to prevent shivering after spinal anesthesia
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two common pain medicines to see which one better prevents shivering after spinal anesthesia during bone or joint surgery. Shivering is common and can make you uncomfortable, so this trial aims to find an easier way to manage it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 60 years old.
- You must be having bone or joint surgery with spinal anesthesia (numbing from the waist down).
- Your surgery should be expected to last less than 90 minutes.
- You should be generally healthy, without severe heart, lung, or other major health issues.
- You should not have had a recent blood transfusion or taken the study medications before the trial.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a medicine called dexamethasone (a type of steroid) can help reduce shivering that sometimes happens after you receive spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine in your back) for leg or foot surgery. It compares different doses to find the most effective one, which could make you more comfortable after surgery.
This trial tests whether adding a medicine called dexamethasone to the spinal anesthetic reduces shivering after a cesarean section. It may help you feel more comfortable and recover more smoothly after surgery.
This trial tests whether two common medicines, tramadol and ketamine, given through an IV, can prevent shivering that sometimes happens after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. You may be able to join if you are having a planned cesarean and are generally healthy.
This study tests a way to reduce shivering after surgery done with spinal anesthesia (numbing from the waist down). Shivering can be uncomfortable and increase recovery time, and the trial aims to see if a specific medication helps prevent it.
This study tests different doses of paracetamol (a common pain and fever reducer) to see which one best prevents shivering after spinal anesthesia for lower-limb surgery. Shivering can be uncomfortable, and the study aims to find the safest and most effective dose for patients.
This study tests two medications given through an IV (dexmedetomidine and midazolam) to see which one better prevents shivering during and after leg surgery done under spinal anesthesia. If you're having this type of surgery, participating might help you feel more comfortable and avoid the stress of shivering.
