NCT ID NCT06558331
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 60 adults having video-assisted lung surgery (VATS). It compared two pain-relief techniques—ESP block and paravertebral block—to see which one leads to better recovery in the first 24 hours. The goal was to find which method reduces pain and helps patients feel better sooner after surgery.
