Perioperative dexmedetomidine for chronic pain after lung surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving the medication dexmedetomidine during and after surgery can prevent long-term pain after a thoracoscopic lung resection. If you are scheduled for this type of lung surgery, you may be able to join and help see if this drug makes recovery less painful over time.

This study tests whether combining two medicines, dexmedetomidine and esketamine, during spine surgery can help prevent chronic pain that sometimes continues for months after surgery. If you are having spine surgery and will use a pain pump afterward, this trial might be a good fit for you.
This study tests a combination of two medicines given through an IV after spine surgery to see if it controls moderate to severe pain better. It may help reduce pain and improve recovery.
This study tests a new pain medication called oliceridine given through an IV after lung surgery to see if it helps reduce long-term pain. Participation may help improve pain management after surgery.
This study tests whether giving a medicine called dexmedetomidine before surgery can reduce pain during and after the operation. If it works, it might help people wake up feeling better and need less pain medicine.
This trial studies whether the anesthesia medicines ketamine and dexmedetomidine can improve care during elective lung (video-assisted) surgery. It may help with comfort during and after the operation, depending on how these medicines affect pain and recovery.
This trial tests if adding two medicines (esketamine and dexmedetomidine) during your thoracoscopic (keyhole) lung surgery helps you recover better and feel less discomfort afterward.
