Opioid-free anesthesia for pancreatic surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a combination of non-opioid drugs during general anesthesia can reduce side effects after laparoscopic pancreatic surgery. If you are scheduled for this type of surgery and are between 18 and 80 years old, you may be able to join.

Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been scheduled for a laparoscopic pancreatic resection (surgery to remove part of the pancreas).

- You are not allergic to any of the anesthetics used in the study.
- You do not have first- or second-degree heart block (a type of irregular heartbeat).

This study tests whether avoiding opioids (strong painkillers) during surgery for pancreas or duodenum cancer can lead to a smoother recovery. If you are having a large incision in your belly for this surgery, you might be able to use only regional anesthesia and other non-opioid medicines.
This study tests if a completely opioid-free anesthesia approach works as well as standard general anesthesia for people having laparoscopic or robotic urological surgery. It aims to offer effective pain control without using strong opioid painkillers.
This trial tests whether avoiding opioids during anesthesia can reduce pain and nausea after elective laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help patients who are concerned about side effects from opioid pain medicines.
This trial compares two ways of managing pain during weight-loss surgery: one uses opioids (strong painkillers), the other uses a combination of non-opioid medicines. It aims to see which approach leads to a safer and smoother recovery.
This trial tests a type of anesthesia that uses fewer strong painkillers (opioids) to see if it helps patients recover better after emergency abdominal surgery. It may reduce side effects like nausea and drowsiness.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) without using opioid drugs. One method uses a nerve block (paravertebral block) and the other uses a combination of non-opioid medications. The goal is to see which approach reduces pain and side effects better.
