Nerve block for surgery pain relief
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, 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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 tests whether giving a nerve block (pain-relieving injection) at different places in the chest can reduce pain after lung surgery done through a single small incision. If you are having this type of lung surgery, this might help improve your recovery by better managing pain.
This study tests a nerve block (a numbing injection near the spine) using a long-lasting pain reliever versus a standard one to see if it improves your recovery and comfort after lung surgery. It aims to help you feel better and recover faster.
This trial tests two different numbing shots (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain after video-assisted lung surgery. One block is placed near the spine, and the other is between the ribs. The goal is to find the best way to keep you comfortable after surgery.
