Freezing nerves during lung transplant could cut opioid use

NCT ID NCT07281118

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new way to manage pain after a double lung transplant. Instead of relying only on strong pain medicines, doctors will use a cold-therapy probe during surgery to numb the nerves near the incision. The goal is to see if this method reduces the need for opioids and helps patients recover more comfortably. About 148 adults receiving a double lung transplant will take part.
