New nerve block could cut opioid use after lung cancer surgery

NCT ID NCT05521789

Summary

This study is testing if a specific type of nerve block, called an erector spinae block, can help reduce pain and the need for strong opioid painkillers after lung surgery. It involves 70 adults having lung surgery, often for cancer. The goal is to see if this block, which is safer for patients on blood thinners, provides better pain control in the first 24 hours after surgery.
