First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new painkiller called Anrikefon in 204 adults having eye surgery under general anesthesia. Researchers want to see if it controls pain as well as the standard drug nalbuphine, but with fewer side effects like drowsiness. Participants get one dose during surgery and are monitored for pain, side effects, and recovery speed.
