Could a different anesthesia stop chronic cough after lung surgery?
NCT ID NCT07190664
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study compares different anesthesia methods to see if they can prevent chronic cough after video-assisted lung surgery. 228 lung cancer patients will be randomly assigned to different airway management strategies during surgery. Researchers will track cough severity, duration, and quality of life for up to a year after the operation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- anesthesia airway management strategy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify a better anesthesia method to reduce chronic cough after lung surgery, improving recovery and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (228 patients) comparing existing methods, not a new treatment. Results may not apply to all patients or surgeries.
