Comparing two nerve blocks for pain after chest surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks (RISS and SAP blocks) to see which one works better for pain control during and after a thoracotomy (chest surgery). If you are having a chest surgery that involves only one side of your chest, this trial could help find a more comfortable recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are scheduled to have chest surgery on just one side (thoracotomy).
- You are healthy enough to be classified as ASA physical status I, II, or III (a standard rating system for surgical risk).
- You are able to undergo general anesthesia.
- You do not have a known severe allergy to local anesthetics or other medications used in the procedure.
