Nerve block for pain relief in throat cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether a numbing injection near certain neck nerves can reduce pain after throat or neck cancer surgery. It may help patients recover with less discomfort.

This trial tests whether a specific nerve block can reduce pain during and after surgeries on the face, jaw, or upper neck. If you are having a procedure like removing a cyst, draining an abscess, or a lymph node biopsy in these areas, you may be eligible.
This trial tests if giving a numbing injection before front neck surgery under general anesthesia helps control pain better. It may be a good option if you are having this type of elective surgery.
This study compares two doses of a numbing medicine injected near the nerves in your neck before thyroid surgery. The goal is to see if a lower dose provides enough pain relief with fewer side effects, such as affecting your breathing.
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 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 compares two types of numbing nerve blocks to help manage pain after breast cancer surgery with lymph node removal. The goal is to find which method works better and causes fewer side effects.
