Study how opioid exposure affects diaphragm muscle function
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether receiving opioids for pain during lower-leg surgery changes how well the diaphragm muscle (the main breathing muscle) works afterward. It compares breathing muscle function in people who do and do not have certain lung conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult who is having lower-leg (lower extremity) orthopedic surgery at the study hospitals
- You must be willing to participate in the research study
- You cannot be pregnant
- You must not have known lung problems like COPD or asthma that need regular treatment

This study looks at when opioids are given during surgery and how it affects breathing problems after surgery. It might help understand how to make pain control safer.
This trial tests two different pain medicines, nalbuphine and fentanyl, to see which one causes fewer changes in blood pressure and heart rate during the placement of a breathing tube for heart surgery.
This study looks at how different pain relief methods after major abdominal surgery affect the diaphragm, a muscle that helps you breathe. It may help doctors choose the best way to manage pain while protecting your breathing.
This trial studies how the diaphragm (your main breathing muscle) and lung/airway tissue behave in people who are being supported until they can get a lung transplant. The results may help doctors better understand breathing failure and improve transplant care.
This trial uses ultrasound (a non-painful scanning method) to measure how well the diaphragm works around the time of surgery. It aims to learn whether diaphragm changes during surgery relate to breathing problems, especially in people undergoing abdominal, pelvic, or vascular operations.
This study tests a new pain medication called oliceridine given through an IV after lung surgery to see if it helps reduce long-term pain. Participation may help improve pain management after surgery.
