Comparing two types of numbing medicine for lung surgery pain
Part of Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two forms of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) injected near the spine to reduce pain after lung surgery. It aims to find which works better for controlling pain after a lobectomy (removal of a lung lobe).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This trial tests whether a numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the ribs can reduce pain after lung surgery. If you qualify, you may experience less pain and need fewer painkillers after your operation.
This trial tests a long-acting pain medication (bupivacaine liposome injection) to control pain after lung surgery done through a small cut. It may help you feel more comfortable and reduce the need for other pain medicines.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after open lung surgery. The goal is to see which block works better and reduces the need for strong pain medicines.
This trial tests if a long-acting numbing medicine called liposomal bupivacaine can reduce pain after video-assisted lung surgery. It aims to help patients feel better after the procedure with less need for other painkillers.
