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)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether giving a nerve block (pain-relieving injection) at different places in the chest can reduce pain after lung surgery done through a single small incision. If you are having this type of lung surgery, this might help improve your recovery by better managing pain.
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 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 trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication (ropivacaine) mixed with a steroid (Diprospan) into the surgical area before chest surgery can reduce pain after the procedure. If it works, patients may need fewer pain pills and feel more comfortable during recovery.
This trial tests a pain-relief patch (loxoprofen sodium) applied after keyhole lung surgery to see if it reduces pain effectively and safely. It may help you recover with less discomfort and fewer side effects than other painkillers.
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.
