First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a newer, potentially safer nerve block (MTP block) against the standard one (thoracic paravertebral block) for pain after chest surgery. 180 adults having lung surgery through a large chest incision were included. The goal was to see if the newer block provides equally good pain relief with fewer risks.
