Nerve block comparisons for lung-sparing chest surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after chest surgery (thoracotomy). One method is a single-shot paravertebral block and the other is a new type of block. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one better prevents long-term pain after video-assisted chest surgery. It may help find a way to reduce chronic pain after your procedure.
This trial tests two nerve-block methods to see which provides better pain control after minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS). If you qualify, you would receive one of the blocks to help reduce pain and possibly speed recovery.
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 (serratus posterior plane block and erector spine plane block) to see which one provides better pain relief after lung surgery done with a camera (VATS). It may help you have less pain and recover more comfortably.
