New strategy aims to stop opioids from causing more pain after breast surgery
NCT ID NCT03812003
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving a tiny amount of the opioid remifentanil right after surgery could prevent a condition called opioid-induced hyperalgesia, where opioids actually make pain worse. It involved 41 women with breast cancer having breast surgery under total intravenous anesthesia. The goal was to reduce pain and the need for extra painkillers after the operation.
