NCT ID NCT06077422
First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a nerve block given before heart surgery can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers like opioids afterward. About 150 adults having certain heart surgeries will receive either a long-lasting or standard numbing medicine. The goal is to see which approach leads to less pain medicine use and fewer complications after surgery.
