Pain control methods during minimally invasive esophagus surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares different ways to control pain around the time of minimally invasive esophagus surgery. It may help find a method that controls pain better and improves recovery after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You had a minimally invasive esophagus surgery using laparoscopy plus chest work (thoracoscopy) or robotic-assisted surgery
- You can give informed consent to join the study
- You have not had gallbladder inflammation or kidney stones in the last 3 months
- You have not had recent major artery/heart problems like stroke, heart attack, or peripheral artery disease
- Your lung and heart status are stable enough for surgery (no serious lung disease; heart function grade not too high)

This study compares two ways to manage pain after minimally invasive esophagectomy: a paravertebral catheter (a small tube near the spine) versus epidural analgesia (a tube in the back). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This trial tests a combination of two pain-management approaches—a long-acting numbing medicine injected near nerves and a self-administered opioid—to see if they help your gut function better and control pain after bowel or colon surgery.
This trial tests a pain-control method (using an epidural/nerve pain-block through the back, called neuraxial anesthesia) for people having minimally invasive esophagus removal surgery. It may help reduce pain after surgery and improve comfort during 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.
This study compares different methods of managing pain after minimally invasive surgery for abdominal cancers. It aims to find which approach works best to reduce pain and improve recovery.
This trial tests a new way to monitor pain during laparoscopic surgery. It may help your doctor adjust pain medicines to keep you comfortable.
