Numbing injection position for lung surgery pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of giving a numbing injection near the spine before lung surgery to see which position works better for pain control. It may help reduce pain after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are scheduled for a video-assisted lung surgery (a type of minimally invasive chest surgery).
- You are in a certain health category (ASA II-IV), meaning you have mild to severe but stable health conditions.
- You are not allergic to local anesthetics (numbing medicines).
- You have not been taking strong pain medicines regularly or have long-term pain.
- You can understand and agree to the study.

This trial tests two numbing injections to see which reduces pain medicine use during lung surgery. A special pain monitor guides the treatment. It may help you need fewer opioids during your procedure.
This study tests two different numbing injections given before chest surgery to see which one controls pain better and improves recovery. It may help reduce discomfort after the procedure.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one helps people recover better after lung surgery. It tests a block around the spine versus one near the shoulder blade to improve comfort and recovery.
This study tests whether a numbing injection (called an ESP block) given before spinal fusion surgery reduces pain and helps you recover faster. If you are having neck or lower back fusion, this could help you manage pain with fewer strong opioids.
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.
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.
