Recruiting studies
- NCT07697222Recruiting
Pain block comparison for pectus excavatum repair
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to control pain after a minimally invasive surgery to fix a sunken chest. It aims to see which block works better for recovery.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 15–25 - NCT06918392Recruiting
Testing a questionnaire for teens with pectus excavatum
This study tests a questionnaire about living with pectus excavatum (sunken chest). If you are a teen (12-18) scheduled for the Nuss procedure, you and your parent can help by filling out the questionnaire to see if it works well.
HeerlenAges 12–18 - NCT07312448Recruiting
Comparing two ways to fix a sunken chest in teens
This trial looks at two surgical methods for correcting pectus excavatum (a sunken chest) in teens. It compares the modified Nuss technique with the classic one to see which works best.
StrasbourgAges 11–18 - NCT07431632Recruiting
Nerve freezing vs. epidural for pain after pectus excavatum repair
This study compares two ways to manage pain after pectus excavatum surgery: freezing the nerves during surgery (cryoanalgesia) versus an epidural block. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 13 years+ - NCT06682208Recruiting
Pain relief catheter vs freeze ablation for pectus surgery recovery
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after the Nuss procedure for pectus excavatum. One uses a special catheter that numbs nerves, the other freezes them. The goal is to see which works better for teens and young adults.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 12–21 - NCT06935799Recruiting
Freezing for 1 vs 2 minutes after Nuss surgery
This study compares how well one minute of freezing (cryoanalgesia) works versus two minutes to control pain after Nuss surgery for pectus excavatum. It will help find the best way to freeze nerves to reduce pain after surgery.
Warsaw, Wybierz WojewództwoAges 12–18 - NCT07081620Recruiting
Freezing rib nerves before chest-wall repair
This study tests how the timing of a nerve-freezing procedure (cryoneurolysis) in the ribs affects recovery from pectus excavatum surgery. It may help reduce pain after the operation.
Bergamo, BGAges 12–40 - NCT07290582Recruiting
Nerve Pain Relief During Chest Wall Surgery Recovery
This trial tests a freezing technique applied to a nerve during minimally invasive chest wall surgery (Nuss procedure) to help reduce pain after the operation. The goal is to see if this approach helps children recover with less pain medication.
Bergamo, BGAges 14 years+ - NCT07602595Recruiting
Understanding pain after childhood rheumatic disease or surgery
This study helps researchers learn how young adults (ages 14–26) who had rheumatic disease or orthopedic surgery as children experience pain over time. By understanding your story, the study may help doctors better support others facing similar challenges.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 14–26

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pectus excavatum?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 9 recruiting pectus excavatum studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a pectus excavatum trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a pectus excavatum trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
