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

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a nerve block (intercostal nerve block) to control pain after a minimally invasive lung surgery called uniportal VATS. It aims to help patients recover with less pain and fewer side effects from pain medicines.
This study tests whether a continuous drip of lidocaine (a numbing medicine) reduces pain and discomfort after major surgery in the intensive care unit. It is for people who are expected to stay in the ICU for at least 2 days after operations like heart surgery, major abdominal surgery, or serious injury surgery.
This study tests whether numbing the area around your chest drainage tube can reduce pain after video-assisted lung surgery. If you are having a lung procedure with small incisions and will need a drainage tube, this trial may help you feel more comfortable afterward.
This trial tests if giving a nerve block in a different position can reduce pain after lung surgery. It may help patients recover more comfortably.
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 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.
