Clinical studies / Review

Postoperative pain management is a significant research area for the Centre for Anaesthesiological Research.

What is the best combination of drugs (analgesics), and for which patient populations? The goal is to achieve a safe and effective pain treatment after surgery. Our knowledge of the combination of various painkillers/analgesic methods and the long-term effects of such therapies is poorly investigated in the literature. It is, therefore, our goal to perform updated systematic review articles and large randomized, blinded, multicenter trials to elucidate the benefit and harm of postoperative analgesic treatments.

Ultrasound-guided nerve blockages are highly effective and an essential part of contemporary pain management.

The Interdisciplinary Pain Center researches the treatment of chronic pain within the patient’s coping strategy, the reduction of opioid therapy, and cannabis treatment.

Research in treating critical illness at the ICU aims to facilitate scientific and evidence-based observation, care, and treatment for intensive care patients.

Safe and efficient anesthesiological treatments, perioperative optimization, and postoperative pain treatment are cornerstones in the rehabilitation of the surgical patient and therefore have a central place in the Center for Anaesthesiological Research.

The Unit for Anaesthesiology Nursing Research coordinates and handles research within nursing environments at the Department of Anaesthesiology.
