Comparing two nerve block methods for lung surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two techniques for numbing the chest during lung cancer surgery to see which provides better pain relief. It may help patients recover with less discomfort.

- Scheduled for lung cancer removal using keyhole surgery (VATS)
- In good general health (ASA class I to III)
- No skin infection at the injection site
- No bleeding problems
- No allergy to numbing medicines like lidocaine

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 study tests two different numbing techniques (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain relief after minimally invasive chest surgery. Both methods inject medicine near nerves to reduce post-surgery pain.
This study compares two ways of giving a paravertebral nerve block (an injection near the spine to numb the chest) to control pain after a type of lung surgery called VATS. It aims to find the best approach for reducing pain and the need for stronger pain medicines.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to manage pain during and after a type of lung surgery that removes only part of the lung. It aims to find which block provides better pain relief and recovery.
This study compares two different pain-blocking injections given before lung surgery to see which one works better. It may help reduce pain and make recovery more comfortable.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (called erector spinae plane block and thoracic paravertebral block) to see which one works better for reducing pain after open chest surgery. The goal is to provide good pain relief while using fewer opioid painkillers, which can have side effects.
