Pain relief after lung cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a nerve block that may reduce pain after surgery for lung cancer. It's a technique that numbs a specific area in the back to help you feel more comfortable during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new type of numbing injection (called a retro-superior costotransverse ligament space block) to see how well it spreads and numbs the area during CT-guided lung nodule localization. The goal is to find better ways to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
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 if a special ultrasound-guided nerve block can help keep your heart and blood pressure stable during the start of lung surgery. It may lead to a safer and more comfortable experience.
This study compares two ways to reduce pain after minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS). Researchers test whether numbing the chest wall with ultrasound guidance works as well as numbing nerves seen during surgery to help you recover more comfortably.
This study tests a nerve block to reduce pain after a type of lung surgery called uniportal VATS. The block is given before the surgery to help with pain after the operation.
This trial tests a type of nerve block that may help you recover more quickly after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery to remove a lung. The nerve block is given to reduce pain and may help you get back to normal sooner.
