NCT ID NCT04788056
First seen Dec 08, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study aimed to see if injecting a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) near the chest muscles could lower pain and the need for strong painkillers after open-heart surgery. It planned to compare the numbing medicine against a saltwater placebo in about 100 adults. However, the study was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no results are available.
