What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial tests a pain management plan for people recovering from rib remodeling surgery. The plan adjusts pain medication based on the patient's own pain score, aiming to keep pain at a mild level (3 or below on a 0 to 10 scale) during the first five days after surgery. Researchers will measure how often pain stays low, how well the plan is followed, and any side effects. The goal is to find a safe, effective way to manage pain that may reduce the need for stronger opioids.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A visual analog scale-guided multimodal analgesia algorithm that adjusts pain medication based on the patient's reported pain score
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a standardized, effective way to manage acute pain after rib surgery, potentially reducing reliance on strong opioids.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-group feasibility study, so results may not apply broadly. The algorithm's success depends on accurate pain reporting and may not suit everyone.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 to 55 years. * Scheduled for posterior aesthetic rib remodeling with osteosynthesis using the standardized RIBOSS technique. * Ability to understand and use a 0-to-10 visual analog or numeric pain scale. * Availability for scheduled pain assessments through postoperative hour 120. * Written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Chronic opioid use or opioid use disorder requiring an individualized perioperative plan. * Contraindication to the base nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or acetaminophen regimen and inability to use the predefined alternative pathway. * Contraindication to ketamine, lidocaine, dexmedetomidine, or the planned regional block when those components may be required. * Severe hepatic, renal, cardiac, neurologic, or psychiatric condition judged to make the algorithm unsafe. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding. * Inability to provide reliable pain scores or complete five-day monitoring.
