Spinal morphine for recovery after keyhole lung surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a small dose of morphine into the fluid around the spinal cord (intrathecal) can improve pain relief and recovery after keyhole lung surgery. It aims to help patients feel better faster and have fewer complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether putting morphine into the spinal area during lung surgery can reduce pain after surgery for people having certain minimally invasive lung operations. It aims to improve comfort and possibly reduce the need for other pain medicines.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after video-assisted chest surgery (VATS): a numbing injection near the shoulder blade (serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) versus a small dose of pain medicine in the spine (intrathecal morphine). The goal is to find which approach works better and has fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether a single injection of morphine into the fluid around the spine can provide better pain relief after planned laparoscopic or robotic abdominal surgery. If you are having one of several types of major abdominal surgery that lasts at least 2 hours and requires a hospital stay of at least 1 day, this study may be an option.
This study tests whether adding a small dose of morphine to a numbing injection near the spine (called erector spinae plane block) provides better pain relief after midline belly surgery. It may help reduce the need for other pain medicines and improve recovery.
This trial tests if giving a single injection of morphine into the spinal fluid can improve how well you feel and recover after laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer. The morphine is given through a spinal needle before surgery, and it may help control pain during and after the procedure.
This trial compares two different medications (morphine and dexmedetomidine) given through a spinal injection to see which provides better pain relief after lumbar spine surgery. If you qualify, you will receive one of these treatments or a placebo to help manage your pain after the operation.
