Nerve-block pain control during lung fluid drainage in ICU
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific pain-relief nerve block (given with numbing medicine) can make pleural drainage in the ICU more comfortable. It may help reduce pain during the procedure for people who are awake and breathing on their own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 years
- Be in the ICU and need pleural drainage of gas or fluid
- Be awake and breathing on your own (not intubated, not sedated)
- Be able to give free, informed consent
- Have health coverage through a social security scheme
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a nerve block to reduce pain after a type of lung surgery called uniportal VATS. The block is given before the surgery to help with pain after the operation.
This trial tests whether a continuous infusion of lidocaine, a medicine that blocks pain signals, can reduce discomfort after major surgery while you're in the intensive care unit. If you're recovering from a big operation and staying in the ICU for at least two days, this study might help improve your comfort.
This trial tests whether injecting numbing medication inside the chest wall can reduce pain from the drainage tube placed after minimally invasive lung surgery. It may help you recover with less discomfort.
This trial tests if giving lidocaine continuously during and after emergency surgery for a hole or blockage in the gut can reduce lung problems and improve recovery. It may help patients with a serious belly infection who need quick surgery.
This trial tests whether numbing medication injected around nerves in the chest can reduce pain and help patients recover faster after minimally invasive lung surgery. The goal is to improve how you feel after the procedure.
This trial tests a freezing technique to numb nerves around the lungs during minimally invasive lung surgery. It may help reduce pain after surgery, so you need less pain medication.
