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.
- You are scheduled for an above-knee leg amputation because of sarcoma (a type of cancer).
- Your height is between about 4'11" (150 cm) and 6'1" (185 cm).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 35.

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 study tests whether adding a medication called dexmedetomidine to spinal anesthesia can make pain relief last longer and work better. This could help reduce pain after your leg or foot surgery.
This trial tests whether adding dexmedetomidine or fentanyl to the standard spinal anesthesia medication helps prevent trouble urinating after leg surgery. If you qualify, you'll get one of these added to your spinal block, and the study will watch how your bladder function recovers.
This study tests whether adding magnesium, neostigmine, or fentanyl to the standard spinal anesthetic improves pain relief after lower abdominal surgery. Participants will receive one of these add-ons to see which works best.
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.
