Nerve block positions for pain after lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a nerve block (pain-relieving injection) at different places in the chest can reduce pain after lung surgery done through a single small incision. If you are having this type of lung surgery, this might help improve your recovery by better managing pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.

This study compares two types of numbing blocks to manage pain after lung cancer surgery. If you qualify, you'll receive one of these blocks to see which provides better pain relief.
This trial tests a nerve block that may reduce pain after surgery for lung cancer. It's a technique that numbs a specific area in the back to help you feel more comfortable during recovery.
This trial tests if a special ultrasound-guided nerve block can help keep your heart and blood pressure stable during the start of lung surgery. It may lead to a safer and more comfortable experience.
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.
