Summary

Propofol, a common anesthesia drug, often causes pain when injected. This trial will compare two drugs—nalbuphine and lidocaine—given before propofol to see which reduces that pain better. About 92 adults having elective surgery will take part, and their pain will be measured using a simple scale.
