Comparing two pain blocks for TAVI heart valve replacement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (pain shots) given before a TAVI procedure to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery. If you are scheduled for a TAVI and meet the health criteria, you may be able to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a TAVI procedure (a minimally invasive heart valve replacement).
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You are at mild to severe surgical risk (ASA II–IV).
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners.
- You do not have chronic pain before surgery or a condition like dementia that prevents pain assessment.
- You do not have an infection where the nerve block would be given, and you have not had spinal or epidural anesthesia for this procedure.

This study compares two different nerve-block injections (one near the spine, one under the shoulder blade) to see which provides better pain relief after heart bypass surgery. If you are scheduled for a planned bypass and are in reasonably good health, you might be able to join.
This study compares two different numbing techniques to see which provides better pain control during and after total knee replacement. It may help find a way to reduce pain and improve recovery.
This study tests two numbing injections for people having a new aortic valve placed through a leg artery (TAVI). One injection is near the hip bone, the other in the groin area. The goal is to see which one provides better pain control while keeping you awake and comfortable.
This study tests two different numbing techniques (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain relief after minimally invasive chest surgery. Both methods inject medicine near nerves to reduce post-surgery pain.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before laparoscopic gynecologic surgery to see which provides better pain relief after the operation. It aims to help patients have less pain and a smoother recovery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (M-Tapa block and TAP block) to see which one works better for controlling pain after open inguinal hernia repair. It may help find a better way to manage pain after surgery.
