Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT07231926Recruiting
Spinal morphine for recovery after keyhole lung surgery
This trial tests whether giving a small dose of morphine into the fluid around the spinal cord (intrathecal) can improve pain relief and recovery after keyhole lung surgery. It aims to help patients feel better faster and have fewer complications.
ErzurumAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT04067830RecruitingPhase 2
Breathing muscle training before lung surgery to prevent complications
This trial tests whether training your breathing muscles before lung surgery can reduce lung problems after surgery in people with stage I to IIIb lung cancer. It may help improve breathing and lower the chance of post-surgery lung complications.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 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 - 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 - NCT05990946Recruiting
Smartphone monitoring after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests if using a smartphone app to track your symptoms after minimally invasive lung cancer surgery can help you stick to your recovery exercises. It aims to improve your recovery by keeping you connected with your care team.
Zhongshan, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07018375Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Oliceridine for pain after lung surgery
This trial tests a pain medicine called oliceridine, given through a pump you control after lung surgery, to see if it helps prevent long-term pain. It is for people having a VATS procedure to remove part of their lung and who are generally healthy.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT06531928Recruiting
Chest tube removal and anxiety after lung surgery
This study looks at whether the way a chest tube is removed after lung surgery affects how anxious patients feel. If you had keyhole lung surgery with one chest tube, this trial may help understand your experience.
Ankara, KeçiörenAges 18–65 - NCT07028593RecruitingPhase 4
Ciprofol for heart protection during lung surgery
This trial tests if a new sedative drug, Ciprofol, can reduce heart damage after non-cardiac surgery compared to standard care. It is for people aged 45–80 having planned lung surgery (like lobe removal or wedge resection) who will stay in the hospital for at least 3 days after the procedure.
WuhanAges 40–80 - NCT07211529Recruiting
Nerve block during chest surgery to reduce complications
This trial tests whether a numbing injection near the spine (paravertebral block) given during keyhole chest surgery can lower the risk of problems after surgery. It might help patients recover more comfortably.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT07232940Recruiting
ESP vs SPSIP block for pain after lung surgery
This trial compares two different nerve block techniques (ESP and SPSIP blocks) to see which provides better pain relief after VATS (a minimally invasive lung surgery). If you qualify, you would receive one of the blocks before your surgery to help manage pain afterward.
Bursa, NilüferAges 18–65 - NCT07514546Recruiting
Laughter yoga video for menstrual cramp relief
This study tests whether watching a video of guided laughter exercises can reduce the pain of menstrual cramps. Researchers believe laughter and breathing may help ease discomfort during your period.
Konya, KaratayAges 18–24 - 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.
Antalya, MuratpaşaAges 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 - 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 - NCT07287657Enrolling by invitation
Electrical acupoint stimulation after chest surgery
This trial tests a gentle, non-needle therapy that stimulates acupoints with mild electrical current to help you recover better after chest surgery. It may reduce pain and speed healing.
Taipei, HualienAges 15 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 - NCT07729319Recruiting
Heat and moisture during lung surgery: a study
This study looks at whether a special device that adds heat and moisture to the air you breathe during surgery can help people who have lung surgery through small incisions (VATS). If you are having planned lung surgery that requires one-lung ventilation, you may be able to join.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT07610408Recruiting
Pain Relief Methods After Chest Surgery Nerve Block Wears Off
This study compares different intravenous (IV) pain medications given after a regional anesthetic nerve block stops working in patients having minimally invasive chest surgery. The goal is to find the most effective pain management strategy for recovery.
Ankara, KeçiörenAges 18–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for video-assisted?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 44 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.
