Numbing injection for pain relief during heart procedures
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided numbing injection in the belly wall can reduce pain during heart procedures like angioplasty or stent placement. It is for people having planned (non-emergency) heart catheterization.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- Your heart procedure (like angiography or stent placement) is planned ahead, not an emergency
- Your blood clotting level (INR) is less than 1.5
- You are not morbidly obese (BMI over 35)
- You are not allergic to local numbing medicines

This study compares two ways of numbing the chest area (regional anesthesia) for people getting an S-ICD heart device. The goal is to find which method works better and is safer for patients who are at higher risk for general anesthesia.
This study tests whether a special injection between the ribs can reduce pain after minimally invasive heart bypass surgery. The injection is given before surgery to help with pain control and may reduce the need for strong pain medicines.
This study tests a numbing medicine placed near the chest wall to reduce pain after heart bypass surgery. It may help patients recover with less discomfort and use fewer pain medicines.
This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided numbing injection near the hip area can provide better pain relief after lower back surgery. If you qualify, you may receive this injection to help control pain after your operation.
This early-stage trial tests whether a numbing medication (bupivacaine) delivered through a chest tube after heart bypass surgery can safely reduce pain. If it works, it could help heart surgery patients recover more comfortably without as much strong pain medication.
This study tests whether special numbing injections placed near specific nerves can reduce pain and improve recovery after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, which is a procedure to improve blood flow to the heart. The injections are given during surgery to help manage pain afterward without needing as many strong opioid medications.
