Opioid-Free anesthesia: a safer way to go under the knife?

NCT ID NCT06380244

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares opioid-free anesthesia to standard opioid-based anesthesia in 600 adults undergoing urological abdominal surgery. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids during surgery reduces the need for painkillers afterward and lowers side effects like nausea. Patients will be followed for 24 hours after their operation.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

opioid-free anesthesia (dexmedetomidine, ketamine, lidocaine, NSAIDs, regional analgesia)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a safer way to manage pain during surgery, reducing opioid use and related side effects like nausea and vomiting.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study with 600 patients, and results may not apply to all surgeries. The opioid-free approach might not control pain as well as standard methods.
