Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07535697Recruiting
Pain relief methods after lung surgery: two approaches compared
This study compares two ways to reduce pain after minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS). Researchers test whether numbing the chest wall with ultrasound guidance works as well as numbing nerves seen during surgery to help you recover more comfortably.
Offenbach, HesseAges 18 years+ - NCT07611240Recruiting
Comparing two anesthesia types for spine surgery in overweight patients
This study compares two common anesthesia medicines—sevoflurane (inhaled gas) and propofol (IV liquid)—to see which works better for people with obesity having lower-back spine surgery. The goal is to understand which anesthetic is safer and more effective for this group.
