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 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 trial tests a numbing medicine given inside the chest during surgery to see if it reduces pain afterward. It may help you recover with less discomfort after your operation.
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 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 study tests whether a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the spine can better control pain after lung surgery. It compares this to a standard numbing medicine, and aims to help patients recover with less pain after surgery.
