Pain block comparison for lung cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (rhomboid intercostal and erector spinae) to see which one provides better pain relief after lung cancer surgery. The goal is to find which block helps you recover more comfortably.

This study compares two types of numbing blocks to manage pain after lung cancer surgery. If you qualify, you'll receive one of these blocks to see which provides better pain relief.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (one around the spine and another near the back muscles) to see which works better for pain relief after lung cancer surgery. It may help you have less pain and need fewer pain medicines.
This trial tests if giving a nerve block in a different position can reduce pain after lung surgery. It may help patients recover more comfortably.
This trial tests two different types of nerve blocks (rhomboid intercostal block and thoracic paravertebral block) to see which one provides better pain relief during and after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to find a more effective way to manage pain and reduce the need for strong pain medicines.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after open lung surgery. The goal is to see which block works better and reduces the need for strong pain medicines.
This trial compares two nerve block techniques to control pain after breast cancer surgery. If you are having a mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery with lymph node removal, this study may help reduce your pain and improve recovery.
