Nevertheless, patients may still experience considerable postoperative pain, which can adversely affect respiratory function, mobilization, and recovery. Various regional analgesic techniques have been incorporated into multimodal pain management strategies for VATS, including thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB), erector spinae plane block (ESPB), intercostal nerve block, serratus anterior plane block (SAPB), rhomboid intercostal block (RIB), and serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block (SPSIPB). Among these approaches, ultrasound-guided TPVB has traditionally been regarded as a reference regional analgesic technique. More recently, interfascial plane blocks have gained increasing attention because of their technical simplicity and favorable safety profile. RIB and SPSIPB are two novel interfascial plane blocks that may provide effective postoperative analgesia following thoracic surgery. The present study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy of RIB and SPSIPB in patients undergoing VATS and to evaluate their impact on postoperative pain outcomes.",[59,60,28,61,62],"Pain, Postoperative","Multimodal Analgesia","Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block","Thoracic Surgery, Video-Assisted","2026-06-15",{"date":65,"type":36},"2026-06-16",{"date":63,"type":36},{"date":68,"type":21},"2026-11-30",{"name":70,"class":43},"Ankara City Hospital Bilkent",{"id":72,"slug":73,"hasResults":11,"nctId":74,"briefTitle":75,"officialTitle":76,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":77,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":52,"maxAge":78,"enrollmentInfo":79,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":81,"briefSummary":82,"conditions":83,"keywords":89,"overallStatus":94,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":95,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":96,"startDateStruct":98,"completionDateStruct":100,"leadSponsor":102,"locationsCount":4},"100628764","ultrasound-guided-rhomboid-intercostal-block-versus-thoracic-paravertebral-block-for-vats-analgesia-100628764","NCT07465887","Ultrasound-Guided Rhomboid-Intercostal Block Versus Thoracic Paravertebral Block for VATS Analgesia","Comparison of the Ultrasound-Guided Rhomboid-Intercostal Block (RIB) Versus Thoracic Paravertebral Block (PVB) for Postoperative Analgesia in Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS): A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adults (18-85 years old),\n* ASA physical status I-III\n* scheduled for elective 3-port unilateral VATS.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Allergy to local anesthetics\n* infection at the injection site\n* coagulation disorders\n* severe neurological disorder\n* obesity (BMI \\> 35)\n* opioid addiction\n* conversion to open thoracotomy, admission to ICU.","85 Years",{"count":80,"type":21},60,[24],"Purpose of the study The goal of this research is to see which of two nerve-numbing techniques-the Rhomboid-Intercostal Block (RIB) or the Thoracic Paravertebral Block (PVB)-works better to control pain after chest surgery (specifically, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, or VATS). Both techniques use numbing medication to block pain signals after the operation.\n\nWho can participate? The researchers are looking for adults between 18 and 85 years old who are scheduled for a specific type of chest surgery (a 3-port VATS procedure).\n\nHow will the research happen? Participants will be put into two equal groups by chance. One group will receive the RIB technique, and the other group will receive the PVB technique. Both procedures are done under ultrasound guidance after the completion of surgery, while the patient is still asleep. The pain levels of the participants will be measured at rest and when taking deep breaths at several times during the first 24 hours after surgery.\n\nWhy is this study useful? This study aims to find out which pain relief method is more effective and if one results in fewer side effects, such as nausea or the need for stronger pain medications (opioids). These results will possibly help doctors provide better comfort to patients recovering from chest surgery in the future.",[84,85,86,87,88,28],"Postoperative Pain","Thoracic Surgery","Thoracic Surgery, Video Assisted","Ultrasound Guided","Paravertebral Thoracic Block",[90,91,88,92,93],"VATS","Rhomboid-intercostal Block","Regional Anesthesia","Postoperative Analgesia","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-03-18",{"date":97,"type":36},"2026-03-20",{"date":99,"type":21},"2026-03-09",{"date":101,"type":21},"2027-03",{"name":103,"class":43},"Georgios Kotsovolis",{"id":105,"slug":106,"hasResults":11,"nctId":107,"briefTitle":108,"officialTitle":109,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":110,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":52,"maxAge":111,"enrollmentInfo":112,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":114,"briefSummary":115,"conditions":116,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":32,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":120,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":121,"startDateStruct":123,"completionDateStruct":125,"leadSponsor":127,"locationsCount":44},"100626920","the-efficacy-and-safety-of-liposomal-bupivacaine-for-rhomboid-intercostal-nerve-block-in-relieving-postoperative-pain-after-video-assisted-thoracoscopic-surgery-100626920","NCT07441902","The Efficacy and Safety of Liposomal Bupivacaine for Rhomboid Intercostal Nerve Block in Relieving Postoperative Pain After Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery","Ultrasound-Guided Liposomal Bupivacaine Plus Bupivacaine Rhomboid Intercostal Block for Postoperative Pain Relief in Patients Undergoing Thoracoscopic Surgery:A Multi-Center Randomized Controlled Trial","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients scheduled for elective video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy or wedge resection under general anesthesia;\n* Ages 18 to 64 years old；\n* American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status of I-III；\n* Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 15；\n* Patients must be able to understand the nature and potential personal consequences of the clinical trial, signing of the informed consent form.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* History of chronic pain syndrome of any cause.\n* Patients with heart conduction block (sinus block or atrioventricular block).\n* Patients with unstable coronary artery disease.\n* Patients with gastric ulcer or gastric bleeding.\n* Patients with diabetes and are being treated with insulin.\n* Subjects with coagulation dysfunction (prothrombin time or activated partial thromboplastin time is higher than the normal threshold) or patients who are taking oral anticoagulants for other medical reasons and have not stopped it before surgery, such as warfarin or new anticoagulants rivaroxaban or dabigatran.\n* Patients with abnormal liver function: alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and\u002For aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \\> 2× the upper limit of normal (ULN) or total bilirubin (TBIL) ≥ 1.5×ULN.\n* Patients with renal impairment (serum creatinine \\> 176 µmol\u002FL) or receiving dialysis treatment within 28 days before surgery.\n* Patients with a history of diagnosed mental illness or currently taking psychotropic medication.\n* Excessive alcohol or drug abuse, chronic opioid use (more than 2 weeks or 3 days per week for more than 1 month), use of drugs with confirmed or suspected sedative or analgesic effects, or use of any painkiller within 24 h before surgery.\n* Pregnancy or breastfeeding.\n* Extreme body mass index (BMI) (\\\u003C 15 or \\> 35).\n* Participation in another interventional trial that interferes with the intervention or outcome of this trial.\n* Patients with a history of allergy to local anaesthetics or one of the study drugs.","64 Years",{"count":113,"type":21},134,[24],"Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is less invasive compared to traditional thoracotomy. It is reported that the incidence of acute pain following VATS exceeds 80%. Inadequate postoperative analgesia may trigger a series of adverse physiological stress responses, increase the occurrence of postoperative complications, and affect the rehabilitation process.If acute pain is not managed promptly and sufficiently, nearly one-quarter of patients may develop chronic pain, impacting normal life and sleep quality after discharge.In recent years, multimodal postoperative analgesia protocols have been increasingly adopted in clinical practice. The Rhomboid intercostal block (RIB), as a novel regional anesthesia technique within the multimodal analgesia framework, has been widely utilized in various thoracic surgical procedures. Liposomal bupivacaine, an innovative long-acting sustained-release amide local anesthetic, provides prolonged analgesia for up to 72 hours. However, its efficacy and safety in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) have not yet been fully validated. Based on this premise, the present study aims to evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of ultrasound-guided Rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) utilizing liposomal bupivacaine combined with conventional bupivacaine for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing VATS.",[117,118,119,28],"Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)","Pain Management","Liposomal Bupivacaine","2026-03-05",{"date":122,"type":36},"2026-03-06",{"date":124,"type":36},"2026-03-02",{"date":126,"type":21},"2027-06-30",{"name":128,"class":43},"Beijing Tiantan Hospital"]
