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 study compares two types of nerve blocks to manage pain after chest surgery. The blocks may help reduce pain and improve recovery.
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 study compares three ways to manage pain after lung surgery: a numbing injection near the spine, an epidural (a thin tube in your back), or standard pain medicine. The goal is to find out which method works best and causes the fewest side effects.
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 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.
