Summary

This study looked at 38 children who had surgery for a sunken chest (pectus excavatum). Researchers compared standard pain relief (freezing nerves in the chest wall) to that method plus numbing the phrenic nerve. The goal was to see if the combined approach lowers pain scores and reduces the need for extra pain medicine. Results will help doctors choose the best pain control strategy for these young patients.
