Numbing Medicine for Pain After Lung Surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the spine can better control pain after lung surgery. It compares this to a standard numbing medicine, and aims to help patients recover with less pain after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a lung lobectomy (removal of a lobe) using a keyhole technique called video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 30.
- Your overall health is rated as ASA class I, II, or III (a standard measure of surgical risk).
- You do not have severe heart or blood vessel problems, like a recent heart attack or severe arrhythmia.
- You are not allergic to amide-type local anesthetics (like lidocaine or bupivacaine).
- You have not taken certain pain medicines, steroids, or antidepressants in the last 3 days.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are not currently in another clinical trial.
