Caffeine and Neurologic Recovery Following Surgery and General Anesthesia
In Brief
A Early Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Caffeine Citrate and Dextrose Water for Pain, Postoperative. Completed, enrolled 71 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The ongoing opioid epidemic is a public health crisis, and surgical patients are particularly vulnerable to opioid-dependency and related risks. Emerging data suggest that caffeine may reduce pain after surgery. Thus, the purpose of this study is to test whether caffeine reduces pain and opioid requirements after surgery. The investigators will also test whether caffeine improves mood and brain function (e.g., learning, memory) after surgery.
