Nervous system blocks to ease pain after lung cancer surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

In this randomized study, adults aged 18–80 undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer are assigned to receive either ultrasound-guided retro-SCTLB or ultrasound-guided TPVB before anesthesia. The goal is to compare postoperative opioid use between the two blocks as a measure of analgesic effect. Procedures are performed 15 minutes before general anesthesia, with ultrasound guidance to place the block. Outcomes focus on analgesic requirements and safety in a single-center setting. The study involves 130 patients split evenly between the two groups.
