What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study looked at 252 adults having lung surgery to see if giving pain medicine in small bursts (programmed intermittent bolus) works better than a steady drip (continuous infusion). Both methods use an epidural, a common pain relief technique. The goal was to find which approach leads to better recovery quality in the first few days after surgery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
epidural analgesia (local anesthetic delivered via programmed intermittent bolus or continuous infusion)
What this could lead to
If one method works better, it could improve recovery and comfort after lung surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a completed trial, but the difference between methods may be small. Results may not apply to all surgeries or patients.
