-
Comparing fixed-rate versus time-programmed decreasing IV PCA after surgery
This trial will try two different IV patient-controlled analgesia infusion methods to see which reduces opioid use and improves pain control for adults after elective mixed surgery.
-
Comparing adjustable feedback IV patient-controlled pain pumps with fixed-rate pumps after surgery.
This study will test whether an adjustable feedback IV patient-controlled pain pump can reduce opioid use and improve pain control compared with a fixed-rate pump for adults having elective surgeries.
-
Nerve block versus IV pain control after laparoscopic gallbladder removal
This trial will test whether two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (paravertebral and external oblique intercostal) cut pain and tramadol use compared with IV patient-controlled tramadol in adults having elective laparoscopic gallbladder removal.
-
Comparing Morphine and Oxycodone for Pain Relief in Children After Surgery
This study is testing whether morphine or oxycodone works better for relieving pain in children aged 6 to 18 after surgery and how each medication affects side effects like nausea.
