Nerve blocks for pain after video-assisted chest surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one reduces pain better after video-assisted chest surgery. Your participation could help improve pain management and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), a minimally invasive chest surgery.
- Your surgery is expected to last less than 2.5 hours.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 35.
- Your overall health is rated as ASA class I, II, or III.
- You do not have a history of allergy to numbing medicines.
- You do not have an infection at the injection site.

This study tests whether combining a specific type of chest surgery (using small cameras) with numbing injections around nerves reduces pain and the need for strong pain medications after surgery. Researchers want to see if this approach helps patients recover better with less opioid use.
This study tests whether using two numbing injections instead of one in the chest wall can reduce pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (a type of keyhole lung surgery). It aims to find a better way to manage pain after surgery.
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 study tests two different numbing techniques (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain relief after minimally invasive chest surgery. Both methods inject medicine near nerves to reduce post-surgery pain.
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 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.
