Nerve block for pain relief in robotic thymus surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a nerve block to reduce pain after robotic thymus surgery. It may help patients with thymus growths or cysts have less pain and use fewer painkillers after their operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a thymus condition like a tumor, cyst, or hyperplasia (overgrowth) that needs surgery with a robot.
- You do not have myasthenia gravis, severe obesity (BMI over 35), or sleep apnea.
- You are healthy enough for surgery (ASA class 3 or lower).
- You are not on blood thinners, have no allergies to pain drugs, and have no chronic pain or infections near the block site.
- You have not had previous chest surgery or trauma on the side being operated on.
- You have no chest deformities or nerve/muscle disorders that affect breathing.

This study compares two different types of nerve blocks (numbing injections near the ribs) to see which one works better for pain relief after minimally invasive chest surgery. Both techniques are standard care options, and the trial will help doctors understand which one provides the best pain control.
This trial tests a new ultrasound-guided nerve block for pain relief after shoulder surgery. It aims to improve comfort and reduce the need for pain medications.
This study tests two different numbing techniques (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain relief after minimally invasive chest surgery. Both methods inject medicine near nerves to reduce post-surgery pain.
This trial tests two different ways to numb the area around your ribs after a minimally invasive chest surgery (using a camera). Doctors want to see which method works better for pain relief and how it affects your recovery.
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 compares two types of nerve blocks to manage pain during and after a type of lung surgery that removes only part of the lung. It aims to find which block provides better pain relief and recovery.
