Nerve block for better recovery after vocal cord surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests if a nerve block can help reduce pain and improve recovery after surgery to remove a noncancerous growth on the vocal cords. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or standard care.

This trial tests a type of nerve block that may help you recover more quickly after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery to remove a lung. The nerve block is given to reduce pain and may help you get back to normal sooner.
This study tests a nerve block (a numbing injection near the spine) using a long-lasting pain reliever versus a standard one to see if it improves your recovery and comfort after lung surgery. It aims to help you feel better and recover faster.
This study tests a special device to monitor a nerve near the voice box during surgery, to help protect it. It aims to reduce risk of voice problems after surgery.
This study tests whether numbing the nerves in the neck before throat or neck cancer surgery can reduce pain and improve recovery. It compares the standard anesthesia with an additional nerve block to see if it helps patients feel better after surgery.
