Comparing two nerve blocks for lung surgery pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one better controls pain after lung surgery. It may help find a better way to manage pain with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for lung surgery (VATS)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 40
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners that prevent a nerve block
- You are not allergic to local anesthetics
- You do not have an active infection where the block would be placed
- You do not have long-term (chronic) pain already

This study tests two different ways of numbing the chest to reduce pain during video-assisted lung surgery (VATS). It may help some people have less pain after surgery while still allowing the surgeon to do the operation safely.
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 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 tests two different kinds of nerve blocks (numbing injections) to see which one works better for pain after lung surgery (VATS). You will receive one of the two blocks along with standard pain medicine.
This trial tests two nerve-block methods to see which provides better pain control after minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS). If you qualify, you would receive one of the blocks to help reduce pain and possibly speed recovery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks—SPSIP and SAP—to see which one works better for pain after a type of lung surgery called VATS. If you are having this surgery and match the criteria below, you may be able to join this trial to help doctors find the best pain relief method.
