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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
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).
- Your physical health status is classified as ASA II or III (meaning you have mild to serious but controlled health conditions).
- You can understand and use a pain rating scale (NRS) and a patient-controlled pain pump (PCA).
- 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 study compares two types of anesthesia for weight-loss surgery: one that uses standard painkillers (opioids) and one that avoids these drugs. The goal is to see which approach works better for recovery and pain control.
This study tests whether breast cancer surgery can be done safely without using opioid pain medicines during anesthesia. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids leads to fewer side effects and a smoother recovery.
This study compares two types of anesthesia during laparoscopic gallbladder removal: one that avoids opioids (with other pain medicines) and one that uses opioids. The goal is to see if opioid-free anesthesia reduces pain and nausea/vomiting after surgery.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for older adults having major planned surgeries. One type avoids using opioid painkillers (which can cause side effects), and the other includes them. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids helps you feel better and recover more comfortably after your operation.
