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 study tests whether a new pain medication (oliceridine) given through an IV patient-controlled pump can reduce chronic pain after lung surgery. Participants will receive either oliceridine or a standard opioid for pain control after a minimally invasive lung resection. The study will follow patients for several months to see if they develop long-term pain.
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 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 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 study tests how a single dose of morphine affects breathing during sleep in healthy people and those with sleep apnea. It aims to understand the risks of opioids for people with breathing disorders.
