Safer pain block could cut opioid use in lung surgery
NCT ID NCT06507293
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks given before lung surgery to see which one better controls pain and reduces the need for strong painkillers. Sixty adults having planned lung surgery will receive either a paravertebral block or an erector spinae plane block, both using the same numbing medicine. The goal is to find a simpler, safer way to manage pain during and after surgery, potentially leading to fewer side effects and faster recovery.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
bupivacaine
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a simpler, safer nerve block works as well as a more complex one, helping reduce opioid use and improve pain management after lung surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The two blocks may turn out to be equally effective, or the simpler one may not provide enough pain relief.
