Small study aims to pinpoint best dose for Post-Surgery pain block

NCT ID NCT07446959

First seen Mar 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study is testing different amounts of the numbing medicine bupivacaine to find the smallest dose that still works for a nerve block after lung surgery. About 27 adults having video-assisted lung surgery will get an ultrasound-guided nerve block before surgery, and the dose will be adjusted up or down based on how well it controls pain. The goal is to improve pain relief while using as little medicine as possible.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

bupivacaine

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors use the smallest effective dose of painkiller for a specific nerve block, improving pain control after lung surgery while reducing side effects.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early-phase study (27 people) that only finds the dose for 50% of patients, not a proven treatment. Results may not apply to all surgeries or patients.
