Nerve block for pain after lung surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) given continuously during and after surgery can reduce pain in people undergoing lung surgery. It may help you need less strong pain medicine and feel better after your operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 65 years old.
- You are scheduled for surgery on one lung (unilateral thoracotomy).
- Your physical health status is rated 1, 2, or 3 by your anesthesiologist.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 29.99.
- You do not have any condition that makes it unsafe to receive local anesthesia or opioid pain medicine.

This study tests a nerve block (an injection near the spine) to see if it reduces pain after lung surgery (thoracotomy with lobectomy). If you are having planned lung surgery, this could help manage your pain with fewer side effects.
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 nerve block (erector spinae plane block) to see if it helps reduce pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. If you're having keyhole surgery, you may receive the block along with standard anesthesia.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after open lung surgery. The goal is to see which block works better and reduces the need for strong pain medicines.
This trial tests if the position you lie in during a numbing injection for lung surgery affects how well the pain relief works.
This trial tests two different numbing shots (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain after video-assisted lung surgery. One block is placed near the spine, and the other is between the ribs. The goal is to find the best way to keep you comfortable after surgery.
