Nerve Blocks for Pain After VATS Lung Surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (TPVB and SPSIPB) to see which is better at controlling pain after keyhole lung surgery. If you are having VATS, the trial may help you have less pain and recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You are scheduled for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), a type of keyhole lung surgery
- You do not have an allergy to local anesthetics (numbing medicines)
- You are not currently taking strong painkillers (opioids) every day
- You do not have a serious psychiatric condition that would make communication difficult

This trial compares two different nerve block techniques (ESP and SPSIP blocks) to see which provides better pain relief after VATS (a minimally invasive lung surgery). If you qualify, you would receive one of the blocks before your surgery to help manage pain afterward.
This trial tests two nerve-block methods to see which provides better pain control after minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS). If you qualify, you would receive one of the blocks to help reduce pain and possibly speed recovery.
This study compares three ways to control pain after video-assisted lung surgery: a nerve block near the shoulder blade, an epidural, or pain medicine through an IV. It aims to find which method works best with fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways of giving a paravertebral nerve block (an injection near the spine to numb the chest) to control pain after a type of lung surgery called VATS. It aims to find the best approach for reducing pain and the need for stronger pain medicines.
This trial tests two different kinds of nerve blocks (numbing injections) to see which one works better for pain after lung surgery (VATS). You will receive one of the two blocks along with standard pain medicine.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one better prevents long-term pain after video-assisted chest surgery. It may help find a way to reduce chronic pain after your procedure.
