Butyrate and Taurine for heart surgery pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if taking butyrate and taurine (natural supplements) before and after heart surgery can reduce long-term pain. It's for adults having planned heart surgery like bypass or valve repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a substance called butyric acid can help improve gut function in infants and children after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. If it works, it may help kids recover faster and have fewer stomach problems.
This study compares different ways to manage pain after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), which is heart bypass surgery. The goal is to find which approach works best and is safest for patients in the early recovery period.
This trial tests a combination of two pain-management approaches—a long-acting numbing medicine injected near nerves and a self-administered opioid—to see if they help your gut function better and control pain after bowel or colon surgery.
This study follows patients who have heart surgery to learn how chest pain changes over time and what factors increase the risk of long-term pain. By understanding these patterns, doctors hope to better prevent and treat pain after surgery.
This trial tests a combination of pain medicines given during cardiac surgery to reduce pain and speed up recovery. It may help patients who are having a first-time bypass surgery through a standard breastbone incision.
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.
