Respiratory and Antinociceptive Effects of Nociceptin Receptor–µ-Opioid Receptor Agonist Cebranopadol versus Full Opioid Receptor Agonist Oxycodone

Authors: Jansen S et al. Anesthesiology 144(4):913–925, April 2026 Summary:This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study compares the respiratory and analgesic effects of Cebranopadol with Oxycodone in healthy volunteers. Cebranopadol is a novel analgesic that activates both nociceptin (NOP) and µ-opioid (MOP) receptors, raising the possibility of effective pain control with less respiratory depression than traditional opioids.

Frontal Electroencephalogram Phase–Amplitude Coupling Reflects Nociception and the Analgesic Effect of Transversus Abdominis Plane Block in Laparoscopic Surgery

Authors: Wang T et al. Anesthesiology 144(4):837–852, April 2026 Summary:This prospective study explores whether electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns—specifically phase–amplitude coupling (PAC)—can serve as a real-time marker of nociception and analgesic effectiveness during surgery. Traditional intraoperative monitoring of pain relies largely on indirect signs such as hemodynamics, but EEG-based measures may offer a more direct window into […]
