Nerve block with one or two injections for lung surgery pain
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of giving a nerve block (Serratus Anterior Plane Block) to control pain after chest surgery. It tests whether using two needle injections works better than one for pain relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests two different kinds of nerve blocks (numbing injections) to see which one works better for pain after lung surgery (VATS). You will receive one of the two blocks along with standard pain medicine.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (pain-numbing injections) for people having chest surgery. The goal is to see which gives better pain relief and recovery.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks (RISS and SAP blocks) to see which one works better for pain control during and after a thoracotomy (chest surgery). If you are having a chest surgery that involves only one side of your chest, this trial could help find a more comfortable recovery.
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.
This trial tests two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to control pain after chest surgery done with a camera. It aims to find which block works better so you can recover more comfortably.
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.
