Recruiting studies
- NCT06930183Recruiting
Awake vs. asleep for lung surgery recovery
This trial compares being awake with numbing medicine in your back (epidural) versus being fully asleep (general anesthesia) for lung surgery. It aims to see which approach leads to a smoother recovery with fewer complications.
CairoAges 18–75 - NCT04546230Recruiting
Epidural anesthesia for keyhole kidney removal surgery
This trial studies using a small-needle spinal/epidural type pain medicine delivered to your back during a keyhole kidney removal. It may help control pain and reduce the need for stronger pain medicines during and after surgery.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT06974643Recruiting
Numbing methods for awake chest surgery
This study compares two types of numbing medicine (epidural vs. paravertebral block) to see which works better for people who are awake during chest surgery. It may help find a more comfortable option for you.
CairoAges 18–60 - NCT07191002Recruiting
Choosing the right double-lumen tube size for lung surgery
This trial tests different formulas to predict the correct size of a double-lumen breathing tube used during lung surgery. It aims to make anesthesia safer and more effective for patients.
AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT06953193Recruiting
Comparing anesthesia types for pancreas surgery
This study compares two types of anesthesia for people having pancreatoduodenectomy surgery. It tests whether adding an epidural to general anesthesia can help prevent low blood pressure during the operation.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07540104Recruiting
Pain block vs morphine injection for chest surgery
This study compares two ways to manage pain after video-assisted chest surgery (VATS): a numbing injection near the shoulder blade (serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) versus a small dose of pain medicine in the spine (intrathecal morphine). The goal is to find which approach works better and has fewer side effects.
Atakent, SamsunAges 18–75 - NCT07273136Recruiting
Belly nerve block vs. epidural for pain after cancer surgery
This study compares two ways to manage pain after major abdominal cancer surgery: a numbing injection around the belly muscles (subcostal and lateral TAP block) versus an epidural (a thin tube placed in your back). The goal is to see which provides better pain relief.
AsyutAges 18 years+ - NCT06469073Recruiting
Nerve block for pain after heart valve surgery
This study tests a special nerve block (ultrasound-guided) to see if it can better control pain after heart valve replacement surgery. It may help you recover more comfortably if you are having your first mitral or aortic valve replacement.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06841822Recruiting
Nerve blocks for lung surgery: a study on heart function
This trial tests if a special ultrasound-guided nerve block can help keep your heart and blood pressure stable during the start of lung surgery. It may lead to a safer and more comfortable experience.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT03715517Recruiting
Spinal anesthesia to improve recovery after liver surgery
This trial studies whether using spinal/epidural anesthesia during liver tumor removal surgery can help people recover better and with less pain. It compares this approach to standard general anesthesia care to see if recovery is smoother.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT07063602Recruiting
Comparing nerve block methods for pain after lung surgery
This study compares two ways of giving a paravertebral nerve block (an injection near the spine to numb the chest) to control pain after a type of lung surgery called VATS. It aims to find the best approach for reducing pain and the need for stronger pain medicines.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for thoracic anesthesia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 11 recruiting thoracic anesthesia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a thoracic anesthesia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a thoracic anesthesia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
