Nerve block for better recovery after lung surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of pain-relief numbing medicines given as a nerve block before lung surgery. The goal is to see which one helps patients feel better and recover faster after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are scheduled for a lung surgery using a video-assisted scope (VATS) on one side.
- You are not allergic to numbing medicines like bupivacaine, or to opioids or NSAIDs.
- You do not have a condition that keeps you from getting a nerve block, such as an infection at the site or diabetic nerve damage.
- You have not had previous chest surgery or have long-term pain conditions like shingles or a tumor that has spread.

This trial tests a nerve block (intercostal nerve block) to control pain after a minimally invasive lung surgery called uniportal VATS. It aims to help patients recover with less pain and fewer side effects from pain medicines.
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 study tests whether special numbing injections around the spine (paravertebral nerve blocks) help patients recover faster and have less pain after video-assisted lung removal surgery. The goal is to reduce pain, reduce need for strong painkillers, and help you go home 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 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 tests if giving a nerve block in a different position can reduce pain after lung surgery. It may help patients recover more comfortably.
