Pain relief with buprenorphine patch after lung surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for elective video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) on one lung.
- You are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health issues (ASA I-III).
- You are not allergic to buprenorphine or the skin patch ingredients.
- You have not been using strong painkillers (opioids) long-term before surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a pain-relief patch (loxoprofen) can safely reduce pain after minimally invasive lung surgery. If it works well, it could offer patients a non-oral option for managing post-surgery discomfort.
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 compares two ways to manage pain after lung cancer surgery: one uses only non-opioid medicines, the other uses traditional opioids. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids can provide better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two common pain medicines given through a patient-controlled pump after lung surgery done with small incisions. The goal is to see which one works better and has fewer side effects.
This trial tests if a long-acting numbing medicine called liposomal bupivacaine can reduce pain after video-assisted lung surgery. It aims to help patients feel better after the procedure with less need for other painkillers.
This trial tests if buprenorphine, a non-opioid pain medicine, works well for people who have not used opioids before. After ankle fracture surgery, you would get buprenorphine instead of stronger opioids to see if it controls pain just as well with fewer side effects.
