This trial will test whether adding an ultrasound-guided interscalene block or an anterior suprascapular block to epidural anesthesia reduces shoulder pain after thoracotomy in adults with lung cancer.
-
Costotransverse foramen block versus thoracic paravertebral block for pain control after lung cancer thoracotomy
This will test whether the costotransverse foramen block or the thoracic paravertebral block gives better pain relief for adults having thoracotomy for lung cancer.
-
Comparing awake thoracic epidural anesthesia to general anesthesia for thoracotomy
This study is testing whether awake thoracic epidural anesthesia can help people having thoracotomy surgery manage pain better than general anesthesia.
