Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary aim of this study is to explore the relationship between alpha electroencephalographic oscillations, particularly Peak Alpha Frequency (PAF), pupillometry, intraoperative Nociception Level (NOL) and postoperative pain following major thoracic surgeries.

Goals to investigate the use of preoperative EEG as a biomarker for the prediction of postoperative pain to investigate the use of pupillometry in postoperative pain prediction and evaluation to test intraoperative NOL as a predicting factor of postoperative pain

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients aged 18 years or older scheduled for open lung lobectomy due to early-stage lung cancer.

Exclusion Criteria

* 1\) Severe neurological disorders (e.g. dementia) that could interfere with EEG recordings or pain testing.

2\) Severe psychiatric conditions such as major depression, schizophrenia, or active drug abuse.
