Pain relief patch after lung surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a pain-relief patch (loxoprofen sodium) applied after keyhole lung surgery to see if it reduces pain effectively and safely. It may help you recover with less discomfort and fewer side effects than other painkillers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having planned keyhole surgery on your lung to remove a small piece or a section of it.
- You are between 8 and 64 years old.
- You are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health conditions (classified as ASA I-III).
- You have not had chronic pain, mental illness, or taken strong painkillers regularly before surgery.
- You do not have severe high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney or liver problems, or a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and your weight is within a healthy range (BMI between 15 and 35).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a pain-relief patch (loxoprofen) works well and safely to reduce pain after common laparoscopic surgeries like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. If it works, it could offer patients a non-invasive way to manage post-surgery pain.
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication (ropivacaine) mixed with a steroid (Diprospan) into the surgical area before chest surgery can reduce pain after the procedure. If it works, patients may need fewer pain pills and feel more comfortable during recovery.
This trial tests whether a numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the ribs can reduce pain after lung surgery. If you qualify, you may experience less pain and need fewer painkillers after your operation.
This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine and anti-inflammatory steroid around the surgical area before lung surgery reduces pain after the procedure. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably after thoracoscopic lung surgery (minimally invasive lung surgery using small cameras).
This study tests whether a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the spine can better control pain after lung surgery. It compares this to a standard numbing medicine, and aims to help patients recover with less pain after surgery.
This study tests a skin patch that releases buprenorphine, a pain medicine, to control pain after lung surgery. It may help reduce pain and the need for other pain medicines.
