Comparing two nerve blocks for pain relief after lung surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two different pain-blocking injections given before lung surgery to see which one works better. It may help reduce pain and make recovery more comfortable.

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 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 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 types of nerve blocks to see which one helps people recover better after lung surgery. It tests a block around the spine versus one near the shoulder blade to improve comfort and recovery.
This trial tests a type of nerve block that may help you recover more quickly after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery to remove a lung. The nerve block is given to reduce pain and may help you get back to normal sooner.
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.
