Nerve block for surgery pain relief
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a nerve block (stellate ganglion block) to see if it helps reduce pain after surgery to remove part or all of the lung or esophagus. It may be an option for adults aged 18-85 having these procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove part or all of your lung or esophagus (esophagectomy, pneumonectomy, or lobectomy)
- You do not have any condition that would prevent you from receiving regional anesthesia or this specific nerve block
- You are not pregnant

This study looks at whether adding tegileridine to a nerve block (numbing the nerves between the ribs) can reduce pain after removing part of a lung. It might help you need fewer pain medicines and feel more comfortable after 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 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 a nerve block (stellate ganglion block) can reduce complications from placing an artery catheter during heart surgery. It is for people with weak heart function (EF below 35%) or severe lung hypertension who are expected to have a long surgery.
This study compares two types of pain-relief numbing medicines given as a nerve block before lung surgery. The goal is to see which one helps patients feel better and recover faster after surgery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (paravertebral and epidural) to see which provides better pain relief after esophagectomy. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to manage pain for patients undergoing this surgery.
