Two numbing injections for pain after lung cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two types of numbing blocks to manage pain after lung cancer surgery. If you qualify, you'll receive one of these blocks to see which provides better pain relief.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (rhomboid intercostal and erector spinae) to see which one provides better pain relief after lung cancer surgery. The goal is to find which block helps you recover more comfortably.
This study tests whether giving a nerve block (pain-relieving injection) at different places in the chest can reduce pain after lung surgery done through a single small incision. If you are having this type of lung surgery, this might help improve your recovery by better managing pain.
This study tests whether using two numbing injections instead of one in the chest wall can reduce pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (a type of keyhole lung surgery). It aims to find a better way to manage pain after surgery.
This trial tests two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to control pain after chest surgery done with a camera. It aims to find which block works better so you can recover more comfortably.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (called erector spinae plane block and thoracic paravertebral block) to see which one works better for reducing pain after open chest surgery. The goal is to provide good pain relief while using fewer opioid painkillers, which can have side effects.
