Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with early-stage lung cancer or those requiring intrathoracic tissue biopsy, who are suitable for elective uVATS.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe comorbidities, chronic pain, or contraindications to the analgesic methods being tested may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to enhance postoperative pain management for patients undergoing uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (uVATS). It is a single-blind randomized controlled study that will compare the effectiveness of three different analgesic techniques: thoracic paravertebral block, erector spinae block, and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with sufentanil. A total of 102 patients will be enrolled and followed up at various intervals post-surgery to assess pain levels, ambulation time, and hospital stay duration. The study seeks to determine the optimal analgesic approach to improve recovery outcomes for these patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could significantly reduce postoperative pain and improve recovery times for patients undergoing lung surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with similar analgesic techniques in thoracic surgery, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
