Nerve block for recovery after heart bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a paravertebral block, a type of nerve block, can help people recover better after coronary artery bypass surgery through a chest incision. It aims to improve comfort and speed up recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You need to have planned coronary artery bypass surgery with a cut through the middle of the chest (median sternotomy)
- You cannot have conditions that make a nerve block unsafe, such as bleeding problems, infection at the injection site, or allergy to numbing medicines
- Your surgery must not be an emergency
- You cannot have severe back curvature or chronic pain
- You must agree to participate in the study

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.
This trial tests a new pain-management technique using nerve blocks (numbing medicine injected near nerves) to help reduce pain and opioid use after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), a common heart surgery. The goal is to help you recover more comfortably with fewer strong pain medications.
This study tests whether adding two numbing injections (nerve blocks) to standard care provides better pain relief after heart bypass surgery. It is for adults having planned surgery and compares pain scores and recovery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to control pain after heart surgery. It may help you recover more comfortably with less pain medicine.
This trial tests a nerve block (the intertransverse process block) to see if it helps people feel better and recover more smoothly after heart surgery through a breastbone incision. If you are having one of several common heart surgeries for the first time (not an emergency), you may be able to take part.
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.
