Comparing two nerve blocks for pain after lung surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your body mass index (BMI) must be under 35.
- Your preoperative health status (ASA score) must be I, II, or III.
- You cannot be allergic to numbing medicines like lidocaine or bupivacaine.
- You must not have a bleeding disorder or abnormal blood clotting.

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 (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 compares two ways of giving a nerve block (Serratus Anterior Plane Block) to control pain after chest surgery. It tests whether using two needle injections works better than one for pain relief.
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 see which one better controls pain after lung surgery. It may help find a better way to manage pain with fewer side effects.
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.
