Intrathecal Morphine for Analgesia in Video-assisted and Robotic-assisted Thoracic Surgery (NCT05351229)
Intrathecal Morphine for Postoperative Analgesia in Video-Assisted and Robotic-Assisted Thoracic Surgery: A Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blinded Clinical Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
VATS/RATS is widely used for diagnosis and treatment of intrathoracic conditions. Despite many benefits, postoperative pain continues to be intense after VATS/RATS. The optimal strategy for pain management has not been defined. In this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded clinical investigation, investigators hypothesize that 5 mcg/kg intrathecal morphine will decrease postoperative analgesic consumption and reduce pain.
