NCT ID NCT06861387
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether freezing certain nerves during minimally invasive lung surgery can help patients recover faster with less pain. 150 adults having lung surgery will either get standard pain management or standard care plus nerve freezing. The goal is to see if the freezing reduces pain, opioid use, and hospital stays.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a way to reduce pain and opioid use after lung surgery, leading to faster recovery and shorter hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 150 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Risks include nerve damage, numbness, or bleeding at the treatment site.
