Opioid-Free anesthesia: a new way to ease pain after pancreatic surgery?
NCT ID NCT07378189
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares opioid-free anesthesia to standard opioid-based anesthesia for people having laparoscopic pancreatic surgery. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids leads to less pain and lower opioid use after surgery. Two hundred adults aged 18-80 will take part, and researchers will measure pain, nausea, and recovery quality.
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 (a combination of non-opioid drugs)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a way to manage pain after pancreatic surgery without relying on opioids, reducing side effects and addiction risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial that hasn't started yet. The approach may not control pain as well as standard care, and individual responses vary.
