Summary

This study looked at 63 adults who had heart surgery through a small cut in the chest. It compared two ways to manage pain after surgery: freezing the nerves (cryoanalgesia) versus a nerve block (BRILMA block). The goal was to see which method provides better pain relief and reduces the chance of long-term nerve pain.
