New nerve block could ease pain during 'Awake' lung surgery
NCT ID NCT07440199
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain control during a type of lung surgery that does not require a breathing tube. The goal is to see if a newer block (serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) works as well as or better than a commonly used block (serratus anterior plane block) for reducing pain and the need for anesthesia during and after surgery. The trial will involve 70 adults undergoing non-intubated, single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nerve block (serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block or serratus anterior plane block)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify a better nerve block technique for pain control during minimally invasive lung surgery, potentially improving recovery and reducing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study (70 participants) comparing two similar techniques. Results may not apply to all patients or surgeries, and the newer block may not prove superior.
