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 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 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 medicine placed near the chest wall to reduce pain after heart bypass surgery. It may help patients recover with less discomfort and use fewer pain medicines.
This study tests a pain-relieving nerve block for the back (serratus posterior superior plane block) given before minimally invasive heart bypass surgery. It aims to see if this block helps with pain control and recovery after surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to control pain after heart surgery. It may help you recover more comfortably with less pain medicine.
