Comparing pain relief methods after heart bypass surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether giving morphine during coronary artery bypass surgery can help control pain after the operation. It is for people having planned heart bypass surgery who are moderately sick and not already on strong pain medicines.
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 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 compares two fast-acting pain medicines given during surgery to see which one provides better anesthesia and recovery. It may help if you are having a non-emergency surgery that is expected to last 1 to 4 hours and you are generally healthy.
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.
