Sleep improvement medicine after lung surgery
This trial tests if a medication called sodium oxybate (a liquid medicine used for sleep) can help improve sleep problems that often happen after lung surgery. It is designed for older adults having minimally invasive lung surgery, to see if taking this medicine after surgery leads to better sleep and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 a combination of two medicines, dexmedetomidine and esketamine, can help improve sleep problems after major non-heart surgery. You may be eligible if you are having planned surgery lasting at least one hour and will use a pain pump after surgery.
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 sleep medication called lemborexant can improve sleep quality in the hospital after lung surgery. Better sleep may help you recover more comfortably.
This study looks at how well we can predict whether you'll need extra help sleeping on the first night after lung surgery. It also checks if that affects your recovery on the ward. The goal is to improve care and comfort after surgery.
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.
