Spinal Add-On Medicine for Leg Amputation from Sarcoma
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests adding two medicines (dexmedetomidine and fentanyl) versus fentanyl alone to the standard spinal anesthetic for above-knee amputation surgery for lower limb sarcoma. The goal is to see if the combination provides better pain control during and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.

This study compares two medications (dexmedetomidine and fentanyl) mixed with a numbing agent to see which works better for blocking pain during above-knee amputation surgery in patients with serious heart or lung disease. Both drugs are already used in anesthesia, and this trial tests which combination is safest and most effective for you.
This trial tests adding dexmedetomidine (a calming medication) to bupivacaine (numbing medication) injected into the spine during knee surgery. The goal is to improve pain relief and recovery after surgery.
This trial tests adding dexmedetomidine to spinal anesthesia to see if it improves pain control during and after leg surgery. It may help you feel more comfortable and need fewer pain medicines.
This trial compares two common medications, dexmedetomidine and fentanyl, when added to the numbing drug bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia. The goal is to see which one has a lower risk of causing temporary difficulty urinating after surgery on a leg or foot.
This study compares three different medications (magnesium, neostigmine, or fentanyl) added to the spinal anesthetic to improve pain control after lower abdominal surgery. The goal is to find out which one works best and lasts longest.
This study tests a combination of two medications (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) to help manage moderate-to-severe pain after spine surgery. You would receive these drugs through an IV pump that you control to give yourself pain relief as needed.
