Pain reduction after lung surgery using different robot methods
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares three ways to do robotic lung surgery to see which one causes less pain afterward. If you are having lung surgery, it may help your recovery be more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have an ASA score of 1, 2, or 3 (meaning you are generally healthy or have some controlled health issues)
- You can understand pain assessment instructions
- You agree to take part in the study
- You don't need a second surgery for complications

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether combining a specific type of chest surgery (using small cameras) with numbing injections around nerves reduces pain and the need for strong pain medications after surgery. Researchers want to see if this approach helps patients recover better with less opioid use.
This study tests how well sensory tests and pain mapping can predict recovery after lung surgery. If you are a man scheduled for minimally invasive lung surgery, you may be able to join to help doctors understand and manage post-surgery pain better.
This trial compares two nerve block methods (Rhomboid-Intercostal and Paravertebral) to see which provides better pain control for patients undergoing lung surgery. It may help you experience less pain and need fewer opioids after your procedure.
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 trial compares two types of nerve blocks (ESP block vs. TPVB) to see which better reduces pain right after surgery and long-term pain after video-assisted lung surgery. The goal is to find the best option to help patients recover with less pain.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgeries for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer: robotic-assisted (RATS) versus video-assisted (VATS). It aims to see which approach is better for removing a lobe or part of a lobe, focusing on recovery and safety.
