Pain-relief shots for lung surgery: three drug options compared
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares different pain-relief medications given during lung surgery to see which one controls pain better. It may help people have less post-surgery pain after robotic wedge resection or lobectomy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for robotic wedge resection or lobectomy for a lung mass
- This is not an emergency surgery
- You must be able to rate your pain using a pain scale (or be able to communicate clearly)
- Your body weight is 70 kg or higher
- You have no known allergy to bupivacaine, liposomal bupivacaine, or dexamethasone
- You are not pregnant and are not currently in prison

This trial tests two different numbing shots (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain after video-assisted lung surgery. One block is placed near the spine, and the other is between the ribs. The goal is to find the best way to keep you comfortable after surgery.
This trial tests whether a long-lasting numbing shot (liposomal bupivacaine) works better than a regular numbing shot (plain bupivacaine) for pain after minimally invasive chest surgery. It may help you have less post-surgery pain and potentially use less pain medication.
This study compares two nerve-block cocktails for pain relief during robotic lung surgery. It aims to find the best combination to reduce pain and need for strong painkillers.
This study compares two types of numbing medicine (liposomal vs. hydrochloride bupivacaine) injected near the ribs during lung surgery. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief after the operation.
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).
This study tests whether a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the spine can better control pain after lung surgery. It compares this to a standard numbing medicine, and aims to help patients recover with less pain after surgery.
