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 study tests whether a numbing injection near certain neck nerves can reduce pain after throat or neck cancer surgery. It may help patients recover with less discomfort.
This study compares two types of pain-relief numbing medicines given as a nerve block before lung surgery. The goal is to see which one helps patients feel better and recover faster after surgery.
This study tests a monitoring technique to protect a nerve in the neck during surgery on the airway, food pipe, or heart in children. The goal is to prevent voice and swallowing problems after surgery.
This study tests whether special numbing injections around the spine (paravertebral nerve blocks) help patients recover faster and have less pain after video-assisted lung removal surgery. The goal is to reduce pain, reduce need for strong painkillers, and help you go home sooner.
