First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tests whether a single spinal injection of morphine given before lung surgery can reduce the amount of painkillers patients need afterward and lower their pain levels. About 90 adults having video-assisted or robotic lung surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the morphine injection or a placebo. Neither the patient nor the care team will know which treatment was given. The goal is to find a better way to manage post-surgery pain.
