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 tests how well sensory tests and pain mapping can predict recovery after lung surgery. If you are a man scheduled for minimally invasive lung surgery, you may be able to join to help doctors understand and manage post-surgery pain better.
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 a pain-relief patch (loxoprofen) can safely reduce pain after minimally invasive lung surgery. If it works well, it could offer patients a non-oral option for managing post-surgery discomfort.
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 trial studies a personalized approach to pain control for people having cardiac (heart) surgery who are older than 60. It may help reduce pain and improve recovery by tailoring pain treatment to the patient.
