Liposomal bupivacaine for pain after lung surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a long-acting numbing medicine called liposomal bupivacaine can reduce pain after video-assisted lung surgery. It aims to help patients feel better after the procedure with less need for other painkillers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the ribs can reduce pain after lung surgery. If you qualify, you may experience less pain and need fewer painkillers after your operation.
This trial tests a long-acting painkiller injected during surgery to see if it reduces pain after keyhole (laparoscopic) procedures like gallbladder removal, hernia repair, or appendix removal. It may help you need fewer opioids and recover more comfortably.
This trial tests whether a long-acting numbing medication (liposomal bupivacaine) injected into the abdominal wall can reduce pain after laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic cancer. If effective, it may help patients recover with less discomfort and fewer painkillers.
This trial is testing if a special numbing medicine called liposomal bupivacaine, given as a nerve block during surgery, can help reduce pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. It might help you feel better with less need for strong painkillers.
This trial tests a long-acting numbing medication (liposomal bupivacaine) injected around abdominal muscles during laparoscopic gallbladder removal to reduce pain after surgery. The goal is to see if it provides better pain control compared to standard approaches.
This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine and anti-inflammatory steroid around the surgical area before lung surgery reduces pain after the procedure. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably after thoracoscopic lung surgery (minimally invasive lung surgery using small cameras).
