Nerve block for pain after lung surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a nerve block to reduce pain after a type of lung surgery called uniportal VATS. The block is given before the surgery to help with pain after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled for a uniportal VATS surgery (a type of keyhole lung surgery).
- You do not have an infection in your chest wall or have had a procedure called decortication.
- You do not have ongoing chest pain, severe liver or kidney problems, or a psychiatric condition that would make it hard to understand the study.
- You are not allergic to the drugs used, have not had a second chest surgery, and are not participating in other trials.
- You do not have a body mass index (BMI) over 35, are not taking blood thinners, and do not have a spinal deformity or very slow heart rate.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 compares two different types of nerve blocks (numbing injections near the ribs) to see which one works better for pain relief after minimally invasive chest surgery. Both techniques are standard care options, and the trial will help doctors understand which one provides the best pain control.
This study tests whether adding a second nerve block (serratus anterior block) within 24 hours after a lung surgery (VATS) can reduce pain better than the standard nerve block alone. It aims to help patients control pain with fewer strong painkillers.
This study compares two ways to reduce pain after minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS). Researchers test whether numbing the chest wall with ultrasound guidance works as well as numbing nerves seen during surgery to help you recover more comfortably.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (TPVB and SPSIPB) to see which is better at controlling pain after keyhole lung surgery. If you are having VATS, the trial may help you have less pain and recover more comfortably.
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.
