Opioid-free anesthesia during lung surgery for early lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether an opioid-free pain/anesthesia plan during elective lung surgery can reduce surgical “stress” on the body and affect the immune system. You may be eligible if you have early-stage non-small cell lung cancer and are scheduled for a specific type of surgery (VATS lobectomy).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for elective VATS lobectomy (removing part of the lung using small-chest incisions)
- Your non-small cell lung cancer is early stage (up to T3N1M0)
- You have not had previous lung surgery
- You are not taking corticosteroids or other immune-suppressing medicines before surgery
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes, significant heart failure symptoms, or an active infection before surgery
- You are not taking the specific study drugs during the allowed time window (which depends on the group)

This trial studies an “opioid-free” anesthesia and pain plan during planned open surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The goal is to see whether this approach reduces surgical stress and pain compared with usual care.
This study looks at whether the type of anesthesia you receive during lung cancer surgery may affect the chance of your cancer coming back. It is for people with non-small cell lung cancer who are having surgery to remove the tumor.
This trial tests a way to do VATS lung nodule surgery without using strong painkillers (opioids) and while you keep breathing on your own. It may help you recover faster with fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after lung cancer surgery: one uses only non-opioid medicines, the other uses traditional opioids. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids can provide better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine and anti-inflammatory steroid around the surgical area before lung surgery reduces pain after the procedure. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably after thoracoscopic lung surgery (minimally invasive lung surgery using small cameras).
This study compares two types of anesthesia during surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to find the best approach to help you recover faster and with fewer side effects.
