VIDEO-ASSISTED THORACOSCOPIC SURGERY (VATS)

This study tests whether a long-acting painkiller (liposomal bupivacaine) plus a standard painkiller works better than the standard painkiller alone for pain after video-assisted lung surgery. About 100 adults having lung surgery will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Th…

This study tests a new way to manage pain after lung surgery (VATS). It combines a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) with a standard one, given as a nerve block. The goal is to see if it reduces the need for extra painkillers and improves comfort. About 134 ad…

This study compares two pain-relief methods for adults having keyhole lung surgery (VATS). One method uses ultrasound to guide a nerve block (ESPB), the other uses a scope to guide a different nerve block (ICNB). Researchers will measure how much pain medicine patients need in th…

This study looks at 27 adults having lung surgery to find the smallest effective dose of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) for pain relief. Doctors will adjust the dose for each patient to see what works best. The goal is to control pain while using as little medicine as possible.

This study compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to manage pain after video-assisted lung surgery (VATS). 90 adults aged 18-65 will receive either an erector spinae plane block or a serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block. The goal is to see which method reduces…

This study looks at whether giving a nerve block (paravertebral block) during chest surgery can help prevent problems like lung infections, trouble breathing, or fluid buildup. Researchers will track 500 adults having keyhole or robotic chest surgery to see if those who get the b…

This study watches 100 adults having lung surgery to see how they recover from two common anesthesia methods: IV drugs or inhaled gas. No extra treatments are given—just standard care. The goal is to learn which approach leads to faster awakening and fewer complications, helping …
