Comparing two numbing medicines for lung surgery pain
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of numbing medicine (liposomal vs. hydrochloride bupivacaine) injected near the ribs during lung surgery. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief after the operation.
