No-PAIN Trial Summary

This trial tests if NSAIDs are effective pain relief with no side-effects after robotic kidney surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-99 undergoing a specific minimally invasive surgery (robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy) for kidney tumors at select locations. Participants must understand and consent to the study's procedures. Excluded are pregnant individuals, those with allergies to NSAIDs, recent heart issues, history of GI complications or bleeding disorders, poor kidney function, or current/recent use of certain blood thinners and opioids.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as Ketorolac and Ibuprofen, in managing post-surgery pain compared to other pain relievers like Acetaminophen, Oxycodone, and Hydromorphone after robotic-assisted surgery on renal masses.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from NSAIDs may include stomach upset or bleeding, allergic reactions, kidney problems especially if used long-term or in high doses. Other pain medications might cause drowsiness, constipation, nausea/vomiting; opioids carry a risk of dependency.
