Recovery quality after thyroid surgery with and without opioids
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for thyroid surgery: one with opioids (strong painkillers) and one without. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover better right after surgery, with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for thyroid surgery under general anesthesia.
- You are older than 18.
- You have a low anesthesia risk (classified as ASA I or II).
- You do not use opioid or NSAID painkillers regularly.
- You have no history of psychosis, epilepsy, anxiety, depression, or emotional problems.
- You are not at high risk for reflux or breathing in stomach contents, and your surgery is expected to take less than 3 hours.

This study tests whether avoiding strong painkillers (opioids) during anesthesia can help older adults sleep better, think clearer, and recover more smoothly after surgery. It compares opioid-free anesthesia to standard care.
This study tests whether avoiding opioids during surgery helps older adults recover better after major non-cardiac surgery. If you are 65 or older and having planned major surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two ways of managing pain during weight-loss surgery: one uses opioids (strong painkillers), the other uses a combination of non-opioid medicines. It aims to see which approach leads to a safer and smoother recovery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) without using opioid drugs. One method uses a nerve block (paravertebral block) and the other uses a combination of non-opioid medications. The goal is to see which approach reduces pain and side effects better.
This study compares recovery quality after major urological surgery using either opioid-free or opioid-based general anesthesia. It aims to see if avoiding opioids can improve how patients feel after surgery.
This study compares two types of anesthesia—one given through a vein (TCI) and one inhaled—to see which causes fewer breathing tube and airway problems after thyroid surgery. The goal is to find a safer and more comfortable recovery for patients.
