Comparing two ways to numb the chest for less pain after lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether using two numbing injections instead of one in the chest wall can reduce pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (a type of keyhole lung surgery). It aims to find a better way to manage pain after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You are scheduled for elective video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (keyhole lung surgery) on one side of your chest.
- You are planning to receive a nerve block (numbing injection) for pain control during and after surgery.
- You do not have an infection or skin problem at the injection site.
- You are not allergic to numbing medicines (like lidocaine or bupivacaine).
