New pain block may cut opioid use after lung surgery
NCT ID NCT07577908
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests two different nerve blocks to control pain after video-assisted lung surgery. One block targets a muscle plane, the other targets individual nerves. Researchers will measure pain levels, opioid use, and breathing problems in 80 adults aged 18-80. The goal is to find which method works better for recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
nerve block procedure (SPSIP block or intercostal nerve block)
What this could lead to
If one block works better, it could mean less pain and fewer opioids after lung surgery, helping patients recover faster.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 80 people, so results may not apply to everyone. Both blocks are already used, so no big breakthrough is expected.
