Pain relief after minimally invasive chest surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
