All recruiting trials (7)
-
Continuous nefopam infusion after pancreatoduodenectomy
This trial will test whether a continuous infusion of nefopam can lower opioid use and reduce pain for people having a pancreatoduodenectomy.
-
Retrolaminar nerve block for lumbar surgery pain
This trial will test whether adding an ultrasound-guided retrolaminar nerve block to standard multimodal pain management reduces opioid use after elective lumbar spine surgery.
-
Anrikefon versus nalbuphine for pain control after eye surgery
This trial will test whether Anrikefon provides pain relief as well as nalbuphine for adults having eye surgery under general anesthesia.
-
Kratom and other substances safety in people with past opioid use
This study tests kratom at different doses against a placebo and oxycodone to see how people with a history of opioid use tolerate and respond to them.
-
Pharmacist-led opioid stewardship for adults with chronic non-cancer pain
This program will test whether a pharmacist-led opioid stewardship program helps adults with chronic non-cancer pain reduce high-risk opioid prescriptions and improve their knowledge and attitudes about opioid use.
-
Co-designed pain and sedation protocol for adults on ECMO
This project will test a co-designed pain and sedation plan to see if it's acceptable for adults receiving ECMO and similar ventilated ICU patients.
-
Using buprenorphine for pain relief after ankle fracture surgery
This study tests if a skin patch with buprenorphine can help manage pain after ankle fracture surgery for patients who haven't used opioids before, while also looking at safety and the risk of addiction.
