Sensory tests and pain mapping before lung surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests how well sensory tests and pain mapping can predict recovery after lung surgery. If you are a man scheduled for minimally invasive lung surgery, you may be able to join to help doctors understand and manage post-surgery pain better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male.
- You are scheduled to have lung surgery (using a small camera or robot) to remove part of your lung.
- You are generally healthy enough for surgery (ASA class I to III).
- You can understand and complete study questionnaires, with or without help.
- You are willing to have sensory tests, blood draws, and follow-up after surgery.

This trial compares three ways to do robotic lung surgery to see which one causes less pain afterward. If you are having lung surgery, it may help your recovery be more comfortable.
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 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.
This trial tests a personalized (tailored) plan to manage pain after thoracic (chest) surgery. It may help improve comfort and recovery by matching pain treatment to your situation after surgery.
This trial tests if taking coenzyme Q10 before and after thoracoscopic lung surgery can reduce pain. It may help you recover more comfortably.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after lung cancer surgery: one uses only non-opioid medicines, the other uses traditional opioids. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids can provide better pain relief with fewer side effects.
