NCT ID NCT07467291
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (SPSIP block and SAP block) to manage pain after video-assisted lung surgery (VATS). About 70 adults aged 18-65 will receive one of the two blocks before surgery. The goal is to see which block provides better pain relief and helps patients recover faster.
