Nerve blocks for shoulder pain after lung surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to prevent shoulder pain after lung cancer surgery. If you are having open-lung surgery for lung cancer, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares three different nerve blocks to see which one causes less breathing trouble and provides better pain relief after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. It may help patients who are having shoulder surgery and want to avoid side effects like muscle weakness.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before shoulder surgery to see which one provides better pain relief while keeping your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) working well.
This trial compares two ways of numbing the shoulder area before arthroscopic (keyhole) shoulder surgery: a nerve block around the neck area, or a combination of two blocks. The goal is to see which approach gives better pain relief and recovery after surgery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (interscalene and serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) for pain relief during shoulder surgery. If you are having arthroscopic shoulder surgery under general anesthesia, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a new ultrasound-guided nerve block for pain relief after shoulder surgery. It aims to improve comfort and reduce the need for pain medications.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (rhomboid intercostal and erector spinae) to see which one provides better pain relief after lung cancer surgery. The goal is to find which block helps you recover more comfortably.
