New pain relief hope for lung cancer patients: nerve block via port
NCT ID NCT07396558
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a nerve block given through a small port under the skin can help control chest pain in people with advanced lung cancer. The block delivers numbing medicine near the chest wall nerves. Researchers will compare pain levels and side effects in 180 patients receiving this treatment against a historical control group.
