This study tests a specific nerve block to see if it improves pain control and speeds up recovery after chest surgery. It may help reduce the need for strong pain medicines and help you feel better sooner.
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 different nerve block techniques (ESP and SPSIP blocks) to see which provides better pain relief after VATS (a minimally invasive lung surgery). If you qualify, you would receive one of the blocks before your surgery to help manage pain afterward.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (TPVB and SPSIPB) to see which is better at controlling pain after keyhole lung surgery. If you are having VATS, the trial may help you have less pain and recover more comfortably.
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 tests two types of nerve blocks (SPSIP and ESP blocks) to see which one works better for long-term pain after a single-sided breast surgery like mastectomy. It aims to find a safer, more effective way to manage chronic pain after surgery.
