What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial compares two types of continuous nerve blocks—paravertebral and erector spinae—for pain relief after major robotic chest surgery. About 60 adults undergoing such surgery will receive one of the two blocks, and researchers will measure opioid use, pain scores, patient satisfaction, and complication rates. The goal is to find which technique offers better pain control and fewer side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Continuous catheter paravertebral block vs. continuous catheter erector spinae block (local anesthetic injections near the spine)
What this could lead to
If one block proves better, it could become the preferred method for managing pain after robotic chest surgery, potentially reducing opioid use and improving recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage comparison, so results may not apply to all patients. Both blocks carry risks like infection, bleeding, or nerve damage, and neither may prove clearly superior.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 60 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.
