Comparing two pain blocks for lung surgery recovery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for elective lung surgery using a camera (VATS).
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health conditions (ASA I-III).
- You are not taking strong painkillers (opioids) regularly.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or infection at the injection site.

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one helps people recover better after lung surgery. It tests a block around the spine versus one near the shoulder blade to improve comfort and recovery.
This trial tests two different kinds of nerve blocks (numbing injections) to see which one works better for pain after lung surgery (VATS). You will receive one of the two blocks along with standard pain medicine.
This trial tests two nerve-block methods to see which provides better pain control after minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS). If you qualify, you would receive one of the blocks to help reduce pain and possibly speed recovery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks—SPSIP and SAP—to see which one works better for pain after a type of lung surgery called VATS. If you are having this surgery and match the criteria below, you may be able to join this trial to help doctors find the best pain relief method.
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 study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one better controls pain after lung surgery. It may help find a better way to manage pain with fewer side effects.
