Nerve blocks for lung surgery: a study on heart function
Part of Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 if giving a nerve block in a different position can reduce pain after lung surgery. It may help patients recover more comfortably.
This trial tests whether a numbing injection near the spine (paravertebral block) given during keyhole chest surgery can lower the risk of problems after surgery. It might help patients recover more comfortably.
This trial is testing a nerve block (a numbing injection) placed near the breastbone to see if it helps your lungs work better after heart surgery. If you are having planned heart surgery through a breastbone cut, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether special numbing injections around the spine (paravertebral nerve blocks) help patients recover faster and have less pain after video-assisted lung removal surgery. The goal is to reduce pain, reduce need for strong painkillers, and help you go home sooner.
This study compares two ways to numb the chest area before minimally invasive lung surgery to see which one better controls blood sugar after surgery. It may help you have a smoother recovery.
