Do painkillers affect lung sealing surgery?
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether common painkillers (NSAIDs like ibuprofen) affect how well a surgery to seal a collapsed lung works. If you have a collapsed lung and are planning surgery to fix it, this study may help find the best way to manage your pain afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) that happened on its own or due to another lung condition.
- All ages can join this study.
- You are scheduled for surgery (either keyhole or open) to stick your lung to the chest wall (pleurodesis).
- You must not have any condition that makes taking NSAIDs unsafe, such as bleeding problems, kidney disease, stomach ulcers, or an allergy to these drugs.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during pleurodesis (a procedure to seal the lung lining) helps people with a collapsed lung (pneumothorax). It aims to see if these drugs can improve outcomes.
This study tests whether using fewer NSAID painkillers after lung surgery can reduce long-term pain and help people recover better. It's for people having video-assisted lung surgery.
This study compares two ways to manage the chest tube and pain after surgery for a collapsed lung (pneumothorax). The goal is to find out which approach helps patients recover faster and with less pain.
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).
This study compares two ways to reduce pain after minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS). Researchers test whether numbing the chest wall with ultrasound guidance works as well as numbing nerves seen during surgery to help you recover more comfortably.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (ESP block vs. TPVB) to see which better reduces pain right after surgery and long-term pain after video-assisted lung surgery. The goal is to find the best option to help patients recover with less pain.
