What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for pain after video-assisted lung surgery. 90 adults will receive either an erector spinae plane block or a serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block. Researchers will measure opioid use and pain scores for 24 hours after surgery to see which block works better.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
bupivacaine with epinephrine
What this could lead to
If one block proves better, it could improve pain control and reduce opioid use after lung surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 90 patients. Results may not apply to all surgeries or patients, and nerve blocks carry risks like infection or nerve damage.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
