Pain relief without opioids in heart surgery

This study is looking at a pain management approach that avoids using opioid painkillers during heart surgery in older adults. The goal is to see if this approach helps people recover faster after surgery with fewer side effects.

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 tests whether a pain-control approach without opioids (strong pain medicines) can lower persistent pain after mastectomy. It may help people avoid long-term pain and opioid side effects.

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.

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.

This trial studies an “opioid-free” anesthesia and pain plan during planned open surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The goal is to see whether this approach reduces surgical stress and pain compared with usual care.
