Nerve Block Pain Relief for Minimally Invasive Lung Surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether numbing medication injected around nerves in the chest can reduce pain and help patients recover faster after minimally invasive lung surgery. The goal is to improve how you feel after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- General health status classified as Grade I or II (no serious underlying medical conditions)
- No allergies to local anesthetic medications (numbing drugs)
- Not a chronic pain medication user (not regularly taking opioids)

This study tests whether a new long-acting numbing medication (bupivacaine liposomes) works better than standard numbing medicine when injected around nerves in the rib cage during lung transplant surgery. The goal is to reduce pain after surgery and help patients recover faster.
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 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.
This trial tests a long-acting pain medication (bupivacaine liposome injection) to control pain after lung surgery done through a small cut. It may help you feel more comfortable and reduce the need for other pain medicines.
This trial tests if giving a nerve block in a different position can reduce pain after lung surgery. It may help patients recover more comfortably.
This study tests whether a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the spine can better control pain after lung surgery. It compares this to a standard numbing medicine, and aims to help patients recover with less pain after surgery.
