Comparing two pain blocks for lung surgery recovery
Part of Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) — a type of keyhole lung surgery.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your surgery is planned, not an emergency.
- You have no known allergy to numbing medicines (local anesthetics).
- You have no bleeding disorder or history of spine surgery or deformity.

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (TPVB and SPSIPB) to see which is better at controlling pain after keyhole lung surgery. If you are having VATS, the trial 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 compares two different nerve block techniques (ESP and SPSIP blocks) to see which provides better pain relief after VATS (a minimally invasive lung surgery). If you qualify, you would receive one of the blocks before your surgery to help manage pain afterward.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one better prevents long-term pain after video-assisted chest surgery. It may help find a way to reduce chronic pain after your procedure.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to manage pain during and after a type of lung surgery that removes only part of the lung. It aims to find which block provides better pain relief and recovery.
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.
