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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study tests whether giving a nerve block (pain-relieving injection) at different places in the chest can reduce pain after lung surgery done through a single small incision. If you are having this type of lung surgery, this might help improve your recovery by better managing pain.
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.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to control pain after upper abdominal surgery. One block targets the rhomboid intercostal area, and the other targets the erector spinae muscle. This could help reduce pain and improve recovery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (called erector spinae plane block and thoracic paravertebral block) to see which one works better for reducing pain after open chest surgery. The goal is to provide good pain relief while using fewer opioid painkillers, which can have side effects.
