Pain relief methods comparison for lung surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests two numbing injections to see which reduces pain medicine use during lung surgery. A special pain monitor guides the treatment. It may help you need fewer opioids during your procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if the position you lie in during a numbing injection for lung surgery affects how well the pain relief works.
This trial compares two nerve block methods (Rhomboid-Intercostal and Paravertebral) to see which provides better pain control for patients undergoing lung surgery. It may help you experience less pain and need fewer opioids after your procedure.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (ESP block vs. TPVB) to see which better reduces pain right after surgery and long-term pain after video-assisted lung surgery. The goal is to find the best option to help patients recover with less pain.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after chest surgery (thoracotomy). One method is a single-shot paravertebral block and the other is a new type of block. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (one around the spine and another near the back muscles) to see which works better for pain relief after lung cancer surgery. It may help you have less pain and need fewer 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.
