Comparing anesthesia types to reduce nausea after lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia during lung surgery to see which one reduces nausea and vomiting after the operation. One type avoids common painkillers (opioids), and the other uses them, so you may have less sickness after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled for lung surgery (lobectomy or segmentectomy) to treat lung cancer.
- You are not allergic to or have medical conditions that prevent the use of the study medications (e.g., heart block, severe liver disease).
- You have not been taking strong pain medications (opioids) daily for more than 3 months.
- You do not have severe kidney problems (eGFR less than 30).
- You are not pregnant, and you are able to understand pain scales.

This trial tests if a newer painkiller (oliceridine) causes less nausea after a specific type of brain surgery than the standard painkiller (sufentanil). If you are having CPA region surgery and will receive a patient-controlled pain pump, this study may help find a better option for managing pain with fewer side effects.
This study looks at how a medicine used during anesthesia might affect another medicine that helps prevent nausea and vomiting after surgery. It may help improve how patients feel after their operation.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during and after your weight-loss surgery: one uses a nerve block (thoracic paravertebral block) to numb the area without opioid painkillers, and the other uses standard anesthesia. The goal is to see if the nerve block method reduces pain and improves recovery without the side effects of opioids.
This study tests two types of anesthesia for laparoscopic hysterectomy: one that uses opioids (strong painkillers) and one that avoids them. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover better after surgery.
This study tests whether an opioid-free pain/anesthesia plan during elective lung surgery can reduce surgical “stress” on the body and affect the immune system. You may be eligible if you have early-stage non-small cell lung cancer and are scheduled for a specific type of surgery (VATS lobectomy).
This trial compares two pain medicines given during laparoscopic surgery to see which one causes less nausea and vomiting after surgery. If you are at high risk for post-surgery nausea, this study might help you recover more comfortably.
