PECS pain study for children getting a chest device implanted
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a pain-control method (PECS) during surgery for children who are having a small chest device implanted. It may help reduce discomfort during and after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You and/or your parent/guardian can give consent to join the study

This trial compares two types of pain blocks (Exparel vs. Marcaine) given during heart surgery to see which one provides better pain relief. If you are scheduled for a heart surgery through a small or full chest incision, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a long-lasting numbing shot (liposomal bupivacaine) works better than a regular numbing shot (plain bupivacaine) for pain after minimally invasive chest surgery. It may help you have less post-surgery pain and potentially use less pain medication.
This study compares two different ultrasound-guided numbing injections (pectoral nerve block vs. transverse thoracic plane block) to see which provides better pain control for children aged 6 months to 7 years undergoing heart surgery through a chest incision with a heart-lung machine.
This study tests two different nerve-block methods (PECS-II and ESP) to see which better reduces painkiller use during breast surgery. A special monitor guides how much pain medicine you need. The goal is to help you recover with less opioid side effects.
This study tests whether a numbing injection (called a PECS II block) given near the chest can reduce pain and improve recovery after getting a permanent pacemaker. The injection is guided by ultrasound to help make the procedure more comfortable.
This trial tests a numbing medicine given inside the chest during surgery to see if it reduces pain afterward. It may help you recover with less discomfort after your operation.
