Frailty and pain after chest surgery in older adults
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how frailty affects pain after chest surgery in patients aged 60 and older. It uses a special pain pump and may help doctors better manage recovery for older adults.

This trial tests whether frailty affects the right dose of nalbuphine (a pain medicine) for older adults recovering from laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery. It aims to find a safer, more effective pain control plan for patients 65 and older.
This study follows patients who have heart surgery to learn how chest pain changes over time and what factors increase the risk of long-term pain. By understanding these patterns, doctors hope to better prevent and treat pain after surgery.
This study looks at “frailty,” or how well the body may handle stress, around the time of surgery in people age 65 and older. It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and how to plan care around surgery.
This study tests different ways to manage pain and help older patients get moving again sooner after major surgery. If you are 65 or older and in the ICU, this trial may help you recover more comfortably and quickly.
This study looks at whether frailty (a measure of weakness and fatigue) in older adults affects the risk of low blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for surgery. It aims to help doctors predict and prevent this complication.
This trial studies how well different pain medications work after thoracic (chest) surgery. It aims to find the best way to manage pain and improve recovery.
