Nerve block showdown: which injection eases pain and protects breathing after lung surgery?

NCT ID NCT07655336

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two types of nerve blocks—SPSIP and RISS—given before lung surgery to control pain and help breathing afterward. Eighty-four adults having a specific type of lung surgery will receive one of the two blocks. Researchers will measure pain at the chest tube site, overall pain, opioid use, and breathing function to see which block offers better recovery.

Active substance
nerve block (local anesthetic injection)
What this could lead to
If one block works better, it could mean less pain and better breathing after lung surgery, leading to faster recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage comparison. The results may not apply to all surgeries, and nerve blocks carry rare risks like infection or bleeding.
