Pain relief blocks for minimally invasive chest surgery
This study compares two different types of nerve blocks (numbing injections near the ribs) to see which one works better for pain relief after minimally invasive chest surgery. Both techniques are standard care options, and the trial will help doctors understand which one provides the best pain control.

Cold plasma to lower risk of chronic subdural hematoma coming back
This trial tests if a special cold plasma treatment applied during surgery can reduce the chance of a chronic subdural hematoma (a slowly growing blood collection on the brain) from returning. It may help people who already need surgery for this condition.
Ocoyoacac, State of MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT07659990Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for mastectomy pain relief
