Comparing two nerve blocks for lung surgery pain
Part of Injuries & trauma, 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.
Who can take part
- 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
- You have not had issues with opioid painkiller abuse in the past
- You do not have a serious infection throughout your body (sepsis)

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to manage pain after chest surgery. The blocks may help reduce pain and improve recovery.
This trial tests two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to control pain after chest surgery done with a camera. It aims to find which block works better so you can recover more comfortably.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (called erector spinae plane block and thoracic paravertebral block) to see which one works better for reducing pain after open chest surgery. The goal is to provide good pain relief while using fewer opioid painkillers, which can have side effects.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (SPSI and SAP) for pain relief after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), a minimally invasive chest surgery. The goal is to see which block provides better pain control, which may help you recover more comfortably.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (injections near the ribs) to see which works better for pain relief after VATS lung surgery. If you're having this surgery, the nerve block could help manage your pain afterwards.
This study compares two different pain-blocking techniques for a specific type of lung surgery. It aims to see which one provides better pain relief for patients who are awake during the procedure.
