Recovery quality after thyroid surgery with and without opioids
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 compares two types of anesthesia for older adults having major planned surgeries. One type avoids using opioid painkillers (which can cause side effects), and the other includes them. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids helps you feel better and recover more comfortably after your operation.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for weight-loss surgery: one that uses standard painkillers (opioids) and one that avoids these drugs. The goal is to see which approach works better for recovery and pain control.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during and after your weight-loss surgery: one uses a nerve block (thoracic paravertebral block) to numb the area without opioid painkillers, and the other uses standard anesthesia. The goal is to see if the nerve block method reduces pain and improves recovery without the side effects of opioids.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during and after thyroid surgery: one uses opioid painkillers, the other uses non-opioid medicines. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids can still provide good pain control and fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia during thyroid surgery: one through a vein and one through inhaled gas. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer breathing or throat problems after surgery, which may help you recover more comfortably.
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.
