Pain block options for children having chest surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief for children aged 6 to 12 having chest surgery. The goal is to reduce pain after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two different types of nerve blocks (numbing injections near the ribs) to see which one works better for pain relief after minimally invasive chest surgery. Both techniques are standard care options, and the trial will help doctors understand which one provides the best pain control.
This trial compares two nerve block methods (Rhomboid-Intercostal and Paravertebral) to see which provides better pain control for patients undergoing lung surgery. It may help you experience less pain and need fewer opioids after your procedure.
This study tests a nerve block injection in the back to reduce pain in children aged 6–16 having a specific type of chest surgery (thoracoscopic sympathectomy). It may help them wake up more comfortable and need less pain medicine.
This study compares two different ultrasound-guided numbing injections (pectoral nerve block vs. transverse thoracic plane block) to see which provides better pain control for children aged 6 months to 7 years undergoing heart surgery through a chest incision with a heart-lung machine.
This study compares two types of numbing injections given with ultrasound guidance to reduce pain after heart surgery in children. It may be an option for children having certain types of heart surgery through a chest incision.
This trial compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during surgery to help reduce pain afterward in children having upper abdominal surgery. The goal is to find which method works better to keep kids more comfortable after their operation.
