Pain relief before lung nodule localization
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests giving a pain medicine (parecoxib) before a CT-guided lung nodule procedure to see if it reduces pain during the treatment. It's for people with non-small cell lung cancer who need a wire placed in their lung before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have non-small cell lung cancer and are scheduled for lung surgery (VATS)
- You need a wire placed in your lung before the surgery to find the nodule
- You are in good overall health (ECOG score 0 or 1, ASA class I or II)
- You are able to understand and use a pain scale (VAS)

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 trial tests a new way to find and remove small lung nodules using a robot-guided camera to mark the nodule with dye, then a video-assisted surgery to remove it. It may help patients whose nodules are hard to locate during surgery.
This trial tests a new navigation system to help doctors find and mark small lung nodules (bumps) before surgery. The system uses electromagnetic technology to guide a needle more precisely to the nodule, which may make surgery safer and more accurate.
This study compares two types of numbing medicine (liposomal vs. hydrochloride bupivacaine) injected near the ribs during lung surgery. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief after the operation.
This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine and anti-inflammatory steroid around the surgical area before lung surgery reduces pain after the procedure. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably after thoracoscopic lung surgery (minimally invasive lung surgery using small cameras).
This study tests whether a pain-relief patch (loxoprofen) can safely reduce pain after minimally invasive lung surgery. If it works well, it could offer patients a non-oral option for managing post-surgery discomfort.
