Pain Control Without Opioids After Heart Surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether doctors can manage pain after planned heart surgery without using opioid medications (like morphine). Researchers want to see if other pain-relief methods work just as well and are safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for planned (elective) heart surgery
- Your surgery is not an emergency
- You are willing to try pain management without opioid drugs
- You can participate in a research study during your hospital stay and recovery

This study follows patients who have heart surgery to learn how chest pain changes over time and what factors increase the risk of long-term pain. By understanding these patterns, doctors hope to better prevent and treat pain after surgery.
This study tests whether avoiding opioids during surgery helps older adults recover better after major non-cardiac surgery. If you are 65 or older and having planned major surgery, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether giving morphine during coronary artery bypass surgery can help control pain after the operation. It is for people having planned heart bypass surgery who are moderately sick and not already on strong pain 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 compares two types of anesthesia during heart surgery: one that uses high doses of strong painkillers (opioids) and one that uses less opioids. The goal is to see which approach is safer and helps patients recover better.
This trial compares three ways to manage pain after open heart surgery to see which best prevents long-term chronic pain. It may help you decide with your doctor which pain control option is right for you.
