About this study

Official title: Nefopam for Post Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Lobectomy Pain Management and the Improvement of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS): a Randomized Controlled Trial

Video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATs) lobectomy is mild to moderately pain procedure. For conventional thoracotomy, there are many invasive pain control such as epidural analgesia, paravertebral block. However, for VATs, the invasive pain control somehow are too invasive. Nefopam is non-opioid painkilling medication, Serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Many study were demonstrated positive outcome of nefopam usage in many operation such as abdominal surgery, laparocopic surgery, orthopedic surgery. Nevertheless, nefopam for VATs is not well studied yet.
