Pain relief from numbing the chest tube site after lung surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether numbing the area around your chest drainage tube can reduce pain after video-assisted lung surgery. If you are having a lung procedure with small incisions and will need a drainage tube, this trial may help you feel more comfortable afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two forms of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) injected near the spine to reduce pain after lung surgery. It aims to find which works better for controlling pain after a lobectomy (removal of a lung lobe).
This trial tests whether giving a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) through the chest tube after open-heart surgery can reduce pain. It may help patients recover more comfortably.
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication (ropivacaine) mixed with a steroid (Diprospan) into the surgical area before chest surgery can reduce pain after the procedure. If it works, patients may need fewer pain pills and feel more comfortable during recovery.
This early-stage trial tests whether a numbing medication (bupivacaine) delivered through a chest tube after heart bypass surgery can safely reduce pain. If it works, it could help heart surgery patients recover more comfortably without as much strong pain medication.
This trial tests whether a numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the ribs can reduce pain after lung surgery. If you qualify, you may experience less pain and need fewer painkillers after your operation.
This trial tests if placing small tubes near your surgical wound can provide better pain control after a midline abdominal incision. It may help you recover more comfortably.
