Opioid-free anesthesia for breast cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether breast cancer surgery can be done safely without using opioid pain medicines during anesthesia. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids leads to fewer side effects and a smoother recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You do not have a serious heart condition, severe liver or kidney failure, dementia, or a psychiatric condition that affects your thinking.

This study tests whether a pain-control approach without opioids (strong pain medicines) can lower persistent pain after mastectomy. It may help people avoid long-term pain and opioid side effects.
This trial compares opioid-free anesthesia with opioid-based anesthesia during breast free-flap reconstruction surgery. It aims to see whether avoiding opioids can improve safety and comfort around the time of surgery.
This trial studies whether a pain-control technique called regional anesthesia during certain breast surgeries can lower chronic (long-lasting) pain after surgery. It may help improve comfort and quality of life for people at risk of ongoing pain after their breast operation.
This study tests a pain management approach that avoids strong painkillers (opioids) during and after gynecological surgery. It uses a numbing injection in the belly wall and a medicine called dexmedetomidine to control pain instead.
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 trial compares local anesthesia (awake) to general anesthesia (asleep) for breast-conserving surgery. The goal is to see if local anesthesia is a safe and effective option for removing early-stage breast cancer.
