Anti-inflammatory drugs for pleurodesis in pneumothorax
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) that needs a procedure called pleurodesis to seal it
- You may or may not have had a small part of your lung removed
- The procedure is done through a cut in your chest (thoracotomy) or using a tiny camera (thoracoscopy)

This trial is testing whether a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) given during heart surgery can reduce complications. It's for people having planned open-heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
This trial compares two ways of giving talc (a powder that helps stick the lung to the chest wall) to stop fluid or air from coming back in the chest. They will see which method is better at preventing recurrence and improving recovery.
This trial looks at how your body position during a procedure called pleurodesis (which helps prevent fluid from building up around your lungs) affects the outcome. It may help if you have fluid in the chest caused by cancer and are scheduled for this treatment.
This trial tests if a short course of the steroid prednisone can help people with nonspecific pleuritis—inflammation of the lung lining without a known cause. If you haven't responded to other treatments, this study aims to see if prednisone is a safe and effective option.
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication (ropivacaine) mixed with a steroid (Diprospan) into the surgical area before chest surgery can reduce pain after the procedure. If it works, patients may need fewer pain pills and feel more comfortable during recovery.
This study tests whether using fewer anti-inflammatory painkillers (NSAIDs) after lung surgery can help prevent long-term pain. If you are having keyhole lung surgery, you may be able to join and help find better ways to recover.
