Which numbing method works best for lung surgery pain?

NCT ID NCT07063602

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests three different methods of numbing the chest (paravertebral block) to see which provides the best pain relief after video-assisted lung surgery. Researchers will check how much sensation is lost in the chest area using ice and a special filament. The goal is to find out if poor pain relief is due to the numbing technique not working or other factors, so doctors can improve pain management for patients.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors choose the best paravertebral block method to better control pain after lung surgery.
