Ibuprofen during lung surgery and its effect on brain oxygen and thinking
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving ibuprofen through a vein during lung surgery (when only one lung is used for breathing) can help keep oxygen levels in the brain stable and reduce confusion or memory problems afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You are scheduled for lung surgery (removing a lobe or segment, using a small camera) with one-lung breathing
- You do not have serious lung disease (like COPD with very low breathing test results)
- You do not have severe kidney problems
- You have not taken ibuprofen, naproxen, or similar pain relievers in the last month
- You do not have a history of dementia, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or other major psychiatric conditions

This trial studies whether closely watching oxygen levels in the brain during shoulder surgery can reduce the chance of temporary memory and thinking problems afterward in older adults. It may help improve recovery for people at risk for POCD, a type of post-surgery cognitive (thinking) change.
This trial looks at how well the brain controls its own blood flow during non-cardiac surgeries. It aims to see if problems with this regulation are linked to confusion after surgery (delirium).
This trial studies whether tailoring anesthesia and monitoring the brain’s blood-flow control during heart surgery can improve neurological outcomes (brain-related function and recovery). It may help by guiding anesthesia in a more individualized way and checking how well the brain is protected during the operation.
This study looks at how blood pressure and brain oxygen levels during heart surgery might help us predict recovery. If you are having heart surgery, your participation could help doctors understand how to improve care.
This study looks at how the length of time one lung is used for breathing during surgery affects thinking and memory after the operation, as well as pain levels. It may help older adults understand the risks of lung surgery and how to better manage recovery.
This trial studies whether using a brain oxygen monitor to guide lower oxygen levels during one-lung ventilation is safe and effective for people having lung surgery. It may help reduce the risk of lung injury while keeping the brain healthy.
