Summary
This study looked at whether giving a small amount of remifentanil right after breast surgery could prevent opioid-induced hyperalgesia—a condition where opioids actually make pain worse. 41 women with breast cancer having breast surgery under total intravenous anesthesia participated. The goal was to see if this approach could reduce pain scores and the need for extra painkillers in the recovery room.
