Comparing Two Nerve Blocks for Lung Surgery Pain
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after open lung surgery. The goal is to see which block works better and reduces the need for strong pain medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.

This study compares two ways to manage pain after chest surgery (thoracotomy). One method is a single-shot paravertebral block and the other is a new type of block. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of numbing blocks to manage pain after lung cancer surgery. If you qualify, you'll receive one of these blocks to see which provides better pain relief.
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.
This study compares two ways of giving a paravertebral nerve block (an injection near the spine to numb the chest) to control pain after a type of lung surgery called VATS. It aims to find the best approach for reducing pain and the need for stronger pain medicines.
This study compares two types of pain-relief numbing medicines given as a nerve block before lung surgery. The goal is to see which one helps patients feel better and recover faster after surgery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (serratus posterior plane block and erector spine plane block) to see which one provides better pain relief after lung surgery done with a camera (VATS). It may help you have less pain and recover more comfortably.
