New pain block may cut opioid use after lung transplant

NCT ID NCT07641647

First seen Jun 12, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a long-acting painkiller (liposomal bupivacaine) given as a nerve block can reduce the need for opioids and improve pain control after lung transplant surgery. About 88 adults receiving a double lung transplant will be randomly assigned to get either the long-acting painkiller plus a standard short-acting one, or the standard one alone. The goal is to see if the long-acting version leads to less opioid use and better recovery without increasing side effects.
