Pain relief after lung surgery: comparing two nerve blocks
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be having a type of lung surgery called VATS (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery).
- You must be 20 years of age or older.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be 35 or lower.
- You must not have any technical issues with giving the nerve block or the follow-up doses.
- Your surgery and recovery must go normally, without needing a larger chest opening or a second surgery.
- You must agree to take part in the study.

This study compares two ways to reduce pain after minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS). Researchers test whether numbing the chest wall with ultrasound guidance works as well as numbing nerves seen during surgery to help you recover more comfortably.
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 (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 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 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 tests a nerve block (a numbing injection near the spine) using a long-lasting pain reliever versus a standard one to see if it improves your recovery and comfort after lung surgery. It aims to help you feel better and recover faster.
