This study looks at how much opioid pain medicine people need after a thoracotomy (chest surgery) and what factors affect their pain levels. By understanding this, doctors can improve pain management for future patients.
This study compares three ways to manage pain after lung surgery: a numbing injection near the spine, an epidural (a thin tube in your back), or standard pain medicine. The goal is to find out which method works best and causes the fewest side effects.
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 a numbing medicine given inside the chest during surgery to see if it reduces pain afterward. It may help you recover with less discomfort after your operation.
This study looks at how common long-term pain is after keyhole surgery on the chest (video-assisted thoracic surgery). It aims to identify factors that increase the risk of chronic pain, which could help improve future care.
This study tests whether combining a specific type of chest surgery (using small cameras) with numbing injections around nerves reduces pain and the need for strong pain medications after surgery. Researchers want to see if this approach helps patients recover better with less opioid use.
