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+ - NCT07441902Recruiting
Numbing medicine for lung surgery pain relief
This trial tests whether a numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the ribs can reduce pain after lung surgery. If you qualify, you may experience less pain and need fewer painkillers after your operation.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07432711Recruiting

This trial tests if a high dose of dexamethasone (a steroid) can lower pain after keyhole lung surgery. If you are having planned keyhole lung surgery for a lobe or segment, you may be eligible.
Copenhagen, CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT03623958Recruiting
Image-guided minimally invasive lung surgery versus standard surgery
This study compares an image-guided version of a minimally invasive lung surgery to the standard approach for removing small lung nodules. It may help doctors improve planning and targeting of the nodule during surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05351229RecruitingPhase 4
Spinal morphine for pain control after lung surgery
This trial tests whether putting morphine into the spinal area during lung surgery can reduce pain after surgery for people having certain minimally invasive lung operations. It aims to improve comfort and possibly reduce the need for other pain medicines.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT07184463Recruiting
Pain reduction after lung surgery using different robot methods
This trial compares three ways to do robotic lung surgery to see which one causes less pain afterward. If you are having lung surgery, it may help your recovery be more comfortable.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05270616Recruiting
Robotic or video-assisted lung surgery compared
This trial compares robotic surgery and video-assisted surgery for removing part of the lung (lobectomy or segmentectomy). It may help determine which approach is safer or works better for patients who can safely tolerate minimally invasive surgery.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–85 - NCT04223466Recruiting
Surgery to remove the thymus using two different approaches
This trial compares two ways of surgically removing the thymus: a camera-assisted approach through the chest versus an approach through an opening under the breastbone. It may help people with thymus tumors or certain types of myasthenia gravis when medicines alone have not worked well.
Jinan, ShandongAges 20–80 - NCT05600569Recruiting
Thoracic surgery registry study in Spain
This is a registry (a secure log) that collects information about patients who undergo thoracic (chest) surgery. It helps researchers understand what surgeries are being done and may improve planning and care over time.
ZaragozaAges Any age - NCT07868484Recruiting
Pain relief after chest surgery: comparing two numbing injections
This study tests two different numbing injections given before chest surgery to see which one controls pain better and improves recovery. It may help reduce discomfort after the procedure.
Denpasar, BaliAges 18–65 - NCT07745881Recruiting
Pain relief after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a nerve block that may reduce pain after surgery for lung cancer. It's a technique that numbs a specific area in the back to help you feel more comfortable during recovery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07732764Recruiting
TENS for Pain After Chest Surgery
This trial tests if a mild electrical therapy (TENS) can reduce pain after chest surgery. It may help you need less pain medicine and feel better during recovery.
Kaohsiung City, Kaohsiung CityAges 15–85 - NCT07729488Recruiting
Nerve blocks for better recovery after lung surgery
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one helps people recover better after lung surgery. It tests a block around the spine versus one near the shoulder blade to improve comfort and recovery.
Diyarbakır, Outside of the USAges 18–85 - NCT07662733Recruiting
Acupuncture for better sleep and less pain after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests if acupuncture given before and after surgery can help patients sleep better and have less chronic pain after a lung cancer operation. You may join if you are having a specific type of lung cancer surgery, are in good general health, and do not have severe sleep problems already.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07650877Recruiting
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.
Çankaya, AnkaraAges 18–75 - NCT07626489Recruiting
Numbing injection to reduce pain after lung surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication (ropivacaine) mixed with a steroid (Diprospan) into the surgical area before chest surgery can reduce pain after the procedure. If it works, patients may need fewer pain pills and feel more comfortable during recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07603921Recruiting
Local Pain Relief Injection During Lung Surgery
This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine and anti-inflammatory steroid around the surgical area before lung surgery reduces pain after the procedure. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably after thoracoscopic lung surgery (minimally invasive lung surgery using small cameras).
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07578545Recruiting
Pain management after minimally invasive chest surgery
This study tests whether combining a specific type of chest surgery (using small cameras) with numbing injections around nerves reduces pain and the need for strong pain medications after surgery. Researchers want to see if this approach helps patients recover better with less opioid use.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for video-assisted?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 40 recruiting video-assisted 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 video-assisted 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 video-assisted 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.
