Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults undergoing minimally invasive cholecystectomy who have no allergies to acetaminophen, NSAIDs, opiranserin, or fentanyl and do not have significant kidney or liver impairment.

Probably not a fit

Patients with chronic pain, significant ECG abnormalities, or severe organ impairment may not experience benefit from this regimen.

What this trial studies

This is a single-center, randomized, non-inferiority study in adults undergoing minimally invasive cholecystectomy. Participants are assigned 1:1 to receive either opiranserin plus acetaminophen or acetaminophen plus NSAIDs to manage postoperative pain. The trial aims to compare analgesic efficacy and safety between the two regimens. No details on sample size or statistical endpoints are provided. The study is sponsored by Gangnam Severance Hospital in Seoul.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the opiranserin regimen could offer an effective alternative pain management option after gallbladder surgery.

How similar studies have gone: Prior work in non-inferiority analgesia trials supports exploration of new drug combinations, though specific opiranserin data in this setting are limited.
