Spinal morphine for pain control after lung surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether putting morphine into the spinal area during lung surgery can reduce pain after surgery for people having certain minimally invasive lung operations. It aims to improve comfort and possibly reduce the need for other pain medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You are scheduled for an elective minimally invasive lung surgery (video-assisted or robotic) to remove part of the lung
- Your surgery is planned under general anesthesia, and you are expected to be taken off the breathing tube during the operation
- You do not have a severe overall health status (ASA 4 or 5)
- You have no plan for continued breathing tube use after surgery

This study compares two strong painkillers—methadone given through an IV versus morphine injected into the spine—to see which provides better pain relief and recovery after major abdominal surgery. It may help you if you're having open surgery and want less pain afterward.
This trial tests whether giving a small dose of morphine into the fluid around the spinal cord (intrathecal) can improve pain relief and recovery after keyhole lung surgery. It aims to help patients feel better faster and have fewer complications.
This trial tests whether a single injection of morphine into the fluid around the spine can provide better pain relief after planned laparoscopic or robotic abdominal surgery. If you are having one of several types of major abdominal surgery that lasts at least 2 hours and requires a hospital stay of at least 1 day, this study may be an option.
This study tests whether a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the spine can better control pain after lung surgery. It compares this to a standard numbing medicine, and aims to help patients recover with less pain after surgery.
This study tests whether adding a small dose of morphine to a numbing injection near the spine (called erector spinae plane block) provides better pain relief after midline belly surgery. It may help reduce the need for other pain medicines and improve recovery.
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.
