What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of Coenzyme Q10 in preventing both acute and chronic postoperative pain in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung resection surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Coenzyme Q10 or a placebo, with the aim of assessing pain levels post-surgery. The study focuses on the potential benefits of Coenzyme Q10 in reducing the incidence and severity of pain, thereby improving recovery outcomes for patients. The trial is designed for individuals aged 18-75 who meet specific health criteria and are scheduled for elective surgery.
