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 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 study compares two ways to treat fluid buildup or air leaks in the chest—using a liquid talc mixture or talc powder blown in. It aims to find which method works better and is safer for people with cancer-related fluid or a collapsed lung.
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.
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.
