Personalized pain plan after chest surgery in adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a personalized (tailored) plan to manage pain after thoracic (chest) surgery. It may help improve comfort and recovery by matching pain treatment to your situation after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You are having a chest (thoracic) surgery like a lung removal, lobectomy, or segmentectomy
- Your overall health is limited but not severe (ASA 1, 2, or 3)
- You are having surgery as an inpatient (not outpatient)
- You are not pregnant and can speak English well enough to take part

This study looks at how pain sensitivity changes before and after lung surgery. It may help doctors predict and better manage pain after the operation.
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.
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.
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 a more personalized way to give pain medicine during and after heart surgery in older adults. The goal is to improve pain control and recovery by tailoring the painkiller to each person. Participation could help find the right dose for you and reduce side effects.
This trial tests a personalized plan to manage pain after lumbar (lower back) fusion and decompression surgery. It may help reduce difficult pain while guiding safe use of opioids around the time of surgery.
