Nerve block for better recovery after lung surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are having a keyhole surgery on one lung (video-assisted thoracic surgery) under general anesthesia.
- You do not have allergies or bad reactions to numbing medicines, strong pain relievers, or common anti-inflammatory pain relievers.
- You have not been taking strong pain medications or steroids every day for more than 2 weeks.
- You have not had previous chest surgery (including breast surgery) or nerve pain conditions like shingles.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a nerve block to reduce pain after a type of lung surgery called uniportal VATS. The block is given before the surgery to help with pain after the operation.
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 to see which one helps people recover better after lung surgery. It tests a block around the spine versus one near the shoulder blade to improve comfort and recovery.
This trial tests a type of nerve block that may help you recover more quickly after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery to remove a lung. The nerve block is given to reduce pain and may help you get back to normal sooner.
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 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.
