New pain block study aims to ease recovery for kids after chest surgery
NCT ID NCT07666334
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief for children aged 6 to 12 after chest surgery. Seventy-five children will receive either a subtransverse process interligamentary plane block or a rhomboid intercostal block combined with a sub-serratus plane block. The goal is to find the most effective way to control pain and reduce the need for strong painkillers like morphine.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
bupivacaine
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify a better pain-blocking method for children after chest surgery, potentially reducing opioid use and speeding recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (75 children) comparing two techniques, so results may not apply to all patients. Both blocks are already used, so no major breakthrough is expected.
