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.

Who can take part
- Adults aged 18 to 80 years
- 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 trial compares two types of nerve blocks (serratus posterior plane block and erector spine plane block) to see which one provides better pain relief after lung surgery done with a camera (VATS). It may help you have less pain and recover more comfortably.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (ESP block vs. TPVB) to see which better reduces pain right after surgery and long-term pain after video-assisted lung surgery. The goal is to find the best option to help patients recover with less pain.
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 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.
