Nerve block for kids having chest surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
