A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of two different pain management techniques in patients undergoing thoracic surgery for lung cancers. It compares the erector spinae block with liposomal bupivacaine injections against intercostal nerve blocks. The study aims to determine which method provides better postoperative analgesia. Participants will be monitored for pain levels and recovery outcomes following their surgical procedures.
