A guided pain plan after rib remodeling surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a step-by-step pain management plan guided by your pain scores after rib remodeling surgery. The plan uses a mix of medications to reduce pain safely and may help you recover with less discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 55 years old.
- You must be scheduled for a specific type of rib surgery (posterior rib remodeling with osteosynthesis) using a standard technique.
- You need to be able to rate your pain on a 0-to-10 scale and follow pain checks for up to 5 days after surgery.
- You should not be taking strong painkillers (opioids) regularly for chronic pain or have an opioid use problem.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not have severe liver, kidney, heart, or brain conditions that could make the pain plan risky.

This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (rhomboid intercostal and retrolaminar) to see which provides better pain relief after a type of chest surgery called thoracoscopic sympathectomy. If you are having this surgery, you may be eligible to join.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (injections that numb the area) to see which provides better pain control after rib fracture surgery. If you are having this surgery, it may help manage your pain and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
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 compares two different types of nerve blocks (numbing injections near the ribs) to see which one works better for pain relief after minimally invasive chest surgery. Both techniques are standard care options, and the trial will help doctors understand which one provides the best pain control.
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.
This trial studies how well different pain medications work after thoracic (chest) surgery. It aims to find the best way to manage pain and improve recovery.
