Testing a new numbing shot for lung nodule localization
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of numbing injection (called a retro-superior costotransverse ligament space block) to see how well it spreads and numbs the area during CT-guided lung nodule localization. The goal is to find better ways to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 30
- You are classified as ASA I, II, or III (a measure of your overall health before surgery)
- You are scheduled for a CT-guided lung nodule localization procedure with only local numbing medicine
- You are not allergic to the numbing medicine used in the study

This trial tests a nerve block that may reduce pain after surgery for lung cancer. It's a technique that numbs a specific area in the back to help you feel more comfortable during recovery.
This study compares two ways of marking a small lung nodule before surgery to remove it. One method uses a CT scan to guide a needle into the lung before surgery, and the other method finds the nodule during the operation itself. The goal is to see which method is safer and more accurate.
This study is testing a new method to help tell whether a lung nodule is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). It is for people who already need a biopsy or surgery for their lung nodule.
This trial tests a new computer-assisted system for guiding the needle during a lung biopsy (taking a small sample from a lung nodule). It may help doctors get a more accurate sample with fewer complications.
This study compares two types of needles used in a CT-guided lung biopsy to see which one is better at diagnosing lung nodules. The trial aims to find a more accurate and safe way to obtain tissue samples from peripheral lung nodules, which could help guide treatment decisions.
This trial tests if the injection speed affects how well a numbing medicine spreads during a specific type of nerve block used for CT-guided lung nodule localization. It may help reduce discomfort during the procedure.
