Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT07677540Recruiting
Nerve blocks before chest surgery to prevent long-term pain
This study is looking at two different types of nerve blocks—one called an erector spinae block and one called thoracic epidural—given before chest surgery to see if either can help prevent long-term pain after the operation.
Kfar SabaAges 18–99 - NCT06053476Recruiting
Chest tube and pain care after lung surgery for collapsed lung
This study compares two ways to manage the chest tube and pain after surgery for a collapsed lung (pneumothorax). The goal is to find out which approach helps patients recover faster and with less pain.
VeldhovenAges 16 years+ - NCT06411795RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two pain relief methods after Whipple surgery
This study compares two ways to manage pain after Whipple surgery: a long-lasting numbing injection near the belly muscles (rectus sheath block) versus an epidural (a tube placed in your back). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06884852Recruiting
Preventing pain after mastectomy: nerve block vs. epidural
This study compares two methods to prevent long-term pain after breast cancer surgery: a nerve block using ultrasound guidance or an epidural. The goal is to see which helps women feel less pain months after their mastectomy.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT07257744Recruiting
Pain management after open heart surgery: comparing three methods
This trial compares three ways to manage pain after open heart surgery to see which best prevents long-term chronic pain. It may help you decide with your doctor which pain control option is right for you.
Trabzon, TrabzonAges 18–85 - NCT07100769Recruiting
Ultrasound guidance for epidural pain relief
This study tests if using real-time ultrasound to guide the placement of an epidural catheter improves accuracy and safety for people having major chest or belly surgery. The goal is to see if this technique reduces complications and helps ensure better pain control.
Ho Chi Minh City, Cho LonAges 16 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+ - NCT05906134RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pain control plan after minimally invasive esophagus surgery
This trial tests a pain-control method (using an epidural/nerve pain-block through the back, called neuraxial anesthesia) for people having minimally invasive esophagus removal surgery. It may help reduce pain after surgery and improve comfort during recovery.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07424638Recruiting
Nerve blocks for shoulder pain after lung surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to prevent shoulder pain after lung cancer surgery. If you are having open-lung surgery for lung cancer, you may be able to join.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for thoracic epidural analgesia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 10 recruiting thoracic epidural analgesia 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 epidural analgesia 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 epidural analgesia 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.
