Kids' painkiller mystery: Anesthesia's hidden effect on oxycodone
NCT ID NCT03054831
First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study aims to understand how general anesthesia changes the way children's bodies process liquid oxycodone, a common painkiller given after surgery. Researchers will give oxycodone to 40 children aged 2-8 years at different times during anesthesia and measure drug levels in the blood. They will also look at genetic differences that might affect how quickly the drug is broken down, which could help make dosing safer and more effective.
