Using Oliceridine for Pain Relief After Surgery

Enhanced Postoperative Analgesia and Accelerated Recovery With Oliceridine: A Study on G-Protein Biased μ-Opioid Agonist

NA · Tongji Hospital · NCT06409689

This study is testing different doses of a new pain medication called oliceridine to see how well it helps people manage pain after upper abdominal surgery compared to morphine.

What this trial studies

This study aims to identify the optimal dosage of oliceridine for managing postoperative pain in patients undergoing upper abdominal laparoscopic surgery. It involves 80 elective patients who will be randomly assigned to receive different doses of oliceridine or morphine for pain management. The study will assess various outcomes, including pain relief, recovery speed, and potential side effects, while also exploring the molecular mechanisms behind oliceridine's effects through microbiomics and metabolomics. This innovative approach seeks to enhance postoperative recovery and broaden the understanding of oliceridine's clinical applications.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 70 scheduled for elective upper abdominal laparoscopic surgery with ASA grades I-II.

Not a fit: Patients with a BMI outside the range of 19-30, preoperative opioid use, or significant heart, liver, or kidney conditions may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management strategies that enhance recovery and reduce side effects for postoperative patients.

How similar studies have performed: While this study employs a novel combination of omics approaches, previous studies have shown promise in using oliceridine for pain management, indicating potential for success.
