Nerve blocks for lung surgery: a study on heart function
Part of Lungs & breathing 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 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.
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 study compares two ways to numb the chest area during minimally invasive lung surgery to see if one keeps blood sugar levels more stable after surgery. Both approaches are used to help manage pain.
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.
