Nerve blocks for pain after heart bypass surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are scheduled for a planned heart bypass surgery (CABG) done through a breastbone incision.
- You are in generally good health or have mild to moderate health issues (ASA class II or III).
- You can understand the study and reliably report your pain level on a 0-10 scale.
- You do not have bleeding problems, an allergy to the study medicines, or a chronic pain condition requiring daily strong painkillers.

This study tests whether giving multiple nerve blocks (numbing injections near nerves) during off-pump heart bypass surgery can improve your recovery and pain control. It aims to see if these blocks help you feel better and recover faster after surgery.
This study tests a numbing injection in the upper back to see if it reduces pain after open-heart surgery. It may help you feel more comfortable and recover better after your operation.
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 a pain-relief method for people having planned (elective) heart bypass surgery. After surgery, a thin tube is placed near the nerves between the ribs to numb the area, which may reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers.
This study compares two different nerve-block injections (one near the spine, one under the shoulder blade) to see which provides better pain relief after heart bypass surgery. If you are scheduled for a planned bypass and are in reasonably good health, you might be able to join.
This study tests a numbing injection near the spine to see if it improves recovery and reduces pain after open-heart surgery. It may help you feel better sooner after your operation.
