This trial compares two ways of giving a nerve block (Serratus Anterior Plane Block) to control pain after chest surgery. It tests whether using two needle injections works better than one for pain relief.
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 study compares two different types of nerve blocks (numbing injections near the ribs) to see which one works better for pain relief after minimally invasive chest surgery. Both techniques are standard care options, and the trial will help doctors understand which one provides the best pain control.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief during and after breast cancer surgery. It may help reduce your pain and need for stronger pain medicines.
This study tests two different ways of numbing nerves near the chest to reduce pain after mastectomy (breast removal surgery). Both methods use local anesthetic injections, and researchers want to see which one works better for pain control.
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.
