Comparing two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after lung surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two nerve block methods (Rhomboid-Intercostal and Paravertebral) to see which provides better pain control for patients undergoing lung surgery. It may help you experience less pain and need fewer opioids after your procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial compares two types of nerve blocks to manage pain during and after a type of lung surgery that removes only part of the lung. It aims to find which block provides better pain relief and recovery.
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 trial tests two numbing injections to see which reduces pain medicine use during lung surgery. A special pain monitor guides the treatment. It may help you need fewer opioids during your procedure.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (ESP block vs. TPVB) to see which better reduces pain right after surgery and long-term pain after video-assisted lung surgery. The goal is to find the best option to help patients recover with less pain.
This study tests whether special numbing injections around the spine (paravertebral nerve blocks) help patients recover faster and have less pain after video-assisted lung removal surgery. The goal is to reduce pain, reduce need for strong painkillers, and help you go home sooner.
