Comparing two pain blocks for VATS surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests two different nerve blocks (SPSI and SAP) to see which one provides better pain relief after Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS). The goal is to find a more effective way to manage post-surgery pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one better prevents long-term pain after video-assisted chest surgery. It may help find a way to reduce chronic pain after your procedure.
This study compares two different pain-blocking techniques for a specific type of lung surgery. It aims to see which one provides better pain relief for patients who are awake during the procedure.
This trial compares two different nerve block techniques (ESP and SPSIP blocks) to see which provides better pain relief after VATS (a minimally invasive lung surgery). If you qualify, you would receive one of the blocks before your surgery to help manage pain afterward.
This study tests two different ways of numbing the chest to reduce pain during video-assisted lung surgery (VATS). It may help some people have less pain after surgery while still allowing the surgeon to do the operation safely.
