New approach aims to stop surgery pain before it starts
NCT ID NCT03812003
Summary
This study tested a method to prevent a specific type of severe pain that can occur after surgery, known as opioid-induced hyperalgesia. It involved 41 female breast cancer patients undergoing surgery. Researchers compared giving a small, controlled dose of the painkiller remifentanil right after waking up from anesthesia versus a placebo, to see if it reduced overall pain and the need for extra pain medication.
