Pain relief injection for minimally invasive heart bypass surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special injection between the ribs can reduce pain after minimally invasive heart bypass surgery. The injection is given before surgery to help with pain control and may reduce the need for strong pain medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares different types of nerve blocks to see which works best for managing pain after heart surgery through the breastbone. It may help reduce the need for strong pain medications.
This study tests a targeted nerve block (pain-numbing injection) to help manage pain after minimally invasive heart valve surgery. Researchers want to see if this technique reduces pain and the need for opioid medications during recovery.
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 study tests a nerve block (serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) given under ultrasound guidance during cardiac surgery to see if it improves pain control and recovery. It may help reduce pain after surgery and decrease the need for strong pain medications.
This trial tests a nerve block injection near the shoulder blade to reduce pain after heart surgery. The goal is to see if it helps patients recover more comfortably.
This trial tests two different ways to numb the area around your ribs after a minimally invasive chest surgery (using a camera). Doctors want to see which method works better for pain relief and how it affects your recovery.
