Nerve blocks for children having heart hole repair
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two pain-block methods for children having surgery to fix a hole in the heart. It aims to find a better way to manage pain after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have a heart condition without blue coloring (acyanotic heart disease)
- Your child must be having a first-time surgery to repair a septal defect (a hole in the heart)
- Your child must be in good health otherwise, classified as ASA I or II
- Your child cannot have certain serious heart or other health issues, like very weak pumping or bleeding problems

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 trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief for children aged 6 to 12 having chest surgery. The goal is to reduce pain after the operation.
This study tests a nerve block injection in the back to reduce pain in children aged 6–16 having a specific type of chest surgery (thoracoscopic sympathectomy). It may help them wake up more comfortable and need less pain medicine.
This trial compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during surgery to help reduce pain afterward in children having upper abdominal surgery. The goal is to find which method works better to keep kids more comfortable after their operation.
This trial tests whether a nerve block given before a heart surgery incision reduces the need for pain medicine during the operation in children aged 6 months to 7 years having their first heart surgery through the breastbone.
