First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two painkillers given through a patient-controlled pump after brain surgery. The goal is to see if oliceridine causes less nausea than the standard drug sufentanil. 174 adults having surgery near the base of the skull will be randomly assigned to one of the two drugs. Researchers will track nausea, pain levels, and other recovery measures for 48 hours after surgery.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a painkiller that causes less nausea after brain surgery.
