Clinical Trial: Patient Preference for Intraoperative Opioid Use and Early Recovery Following Non-Cardiac Surgery: Protocol for a Randomized Factorial Design Trial of Opioid-Free Versus Opioid-Based Anesthesia

U.S., March 5 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06855641) titled 'Patient Preference for Intraoperative Opioid Use and Early Recovery Following Non-Cardiac Surgery: Protocol for a Randomized Factorial Design Trial of Opioid-Free Versus Opioid-Based Anesthesia' on Feb. 26.
