Nerve blocks for pain after chest surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to control pain after chest surgery done with a camera. It aims to find which block works better so you can recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two different nerve block methods to see which provides better pain control. If you qualify, you may receive one of these blocks before your chest surgery.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks (RISS and SAP blocks) to see which one works better for pain control during and after a thoracotomy (chest surgery). If you are having a chest surgery that involves only one side of your chest, this trial could help find a more comfortable recovery.
This trial tests two different numbing shots (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain after video-assisted lung surgery. One block is placed near the spine, and the other is between the ribs. The goal is to find the best way to keep you comfortable after surgery.
