Clinical Trial: Intrapleural Bupivacaine Analgesia for Postoperative Pain Management After Minimally Invasive Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

U.S., Feb. 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07393386) titled 'Intrapleural Bupivacaine Analgesia for Postoperative Pain Management After Minimally Invasive Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial' on Feb. 01.
