Opioid-free anesthesia with spontaneous breathing for VATS lung nodule surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a way to do VATS lung nodule surgery without using strong painkillers (opioids) and while you keep breathing on your own. It may help you recover faster with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 69 years old
- You are in good general health (ASA grade 1 or 2)
- You are scheduled for a VATS procedure to remove a lung nodule
- You agree to take part and sign a consent form
- Your surgery is not expected to be complex or require a larger incision
Quick eligibility check

This study tests whether an opioid-free pain/anesthesia plan during elective lung surgery can reduce surgical “stress” on the body and affect the immune system. You may be eligible if you have early-stage non-small cell lung cancer and are scheduled for a specific type of surgery (VATS lobectomy).
This study compares two ways to manage pain during surgery for small early-stage lung cancer to see which is better for patients. If you are having a small lung nodule removed, this trial may help find the safest and most comfortable anesthesia approach.
This study tests a new way to recover from lung surgery without using a breathing tube during the operation. It is designed for small lung nodules (2 cm or less) to help you recover faster and leave the hospital sooner.
This study tests whether different anesthesia methods during lung surgery can reduce coughing after the operation. It aims to help patients recover more comfortably after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia for removing small lung nodules. One uses a breathing tube (intubated), and the other does not (non-intubated). The goal is to see if avoiding the breathing tube leads to a faster recovery and fewer side effects.
This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine and anti-inflammatory steroid around the surgical area before lung surgery reduces pain after the procedure. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably after thoracoscopic lung surgery (minimally invasive lung surgery using small cameras).
