Comparing two new methods of providing anesthesia for patients undergoing operation without use of opioid medication.

Phase 3

Recruiting

Conditions: Brachial plexus disorders,

Registration Number: CTRI/2020/10/028305

Lead Sponsor: No sponsor

Brief Summary: In current anesthesia practice we use opioids as a crucial part to provide analgesia(pain relief) to the patient. Since ages we have known that opioids provide profound analgesia, yet they come with many side effects. This study is aimed to provide analgesia to the patients by non opioid medications, thereby excluding opioid side effects. This study compares two methods of delivering anesthesia to patients undergoing surgery in general anaesthesia while avoiding opioids, and the pain profile of patients during and after the surgery.
