This study tests two nerve-block techniques to reduce pain after open-heart surgery (CABG). One block targets the chest wall and the other targets the leg where a vein is taken, which may help you recover more comfortably and use less pain medication.
This study tests whether giving a single dose of methadone during surgery can improve pain relief after the operation, possibly reducing the need for other painkillers and helping you recover more comfortably. It is for people having certain planned surgeries that require an overnight stay in the hospital.
This study is looking at how much pain medicine people need after abdominal surgery. By participating, you will help doctors better predict and manage pain for future patients, which may lead to more personalized care.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (SPIP and ESP) to see which provides better pain relief after heart surgery. Participation may help improve how pain is managed after your operation.
This study tests whether adding a small dose of morphine to a numbing injection near the spine (called erector spinae plane block) provides better pain relief after midline belly surgery. It may help reduce the need for other pain medicines and improve recovery.
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.
