Opioid-free anesthesia for sinus surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether avoiding opioid painkillers during and after sinus surgery helps patients recover faster and with fewer side effects, using a standard recovery plan called ERAS.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You should be in good general health (classified as ASA I or II).
- You need to have chronic sinusitis and be scheduled for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (a type of sinus surgery).
- You should not have a history of chronic painkiller use or addiction, heart rhythm problems, or use of certain medicines like beta-blockers.
- You must not have severe liver or kidney disease, obesity (BMI over 35), or a bleeding disorder.
- You must not have had previous sinus surgery (unless it was not a revision surgery), and no issues with delayed stomach emptying.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways of giving a sedative called dexmedetomidine (one as a nose spray, one through an IV) to see which reduces the amount of pain medicine needed during nasal surgery. It aims to help patients have less pain and fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether a nasal spray with desmopressin (a medicine that helps blood clot) reduces bleeding during surgery for chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps. It may make surgery safer and recovery easier.
This trial studies whether the anesthesia medicines ketamine and dexmedetomidine can improve care during elective lung (video-assisted) surgery. It may help with comfort during and after the operation, depending on how these medicines affect pain and recovery.
This trial compares different anesthesia techniques during functional endoscopic sinus surgery to see which one protects the brain best and improves the surgical field. It may help patients understand the safest approach for their procedure.
This study tests different ways to manage pain after sinus surgery to help patients recover more comfortably. Participation may help reduce pain and improve your recovery experience.
This study tests two medicines, dexmedetomidine and lidocaine, given through a breathing tube to help you wake up smoothly after sinus surgery. It compares which one causes less coughing and discomfort when the tube is removed.
