NCT ID NCT05642416
First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two methods of delivering pain medicine through a small tube near the spine after heart surgery. 240 adults having planned heart surgery were randomly assigned to receive pain medicine either as a steady drip or as periodic small doses. The goal was to see which method better controls pain and reduces the need for strong opioid painkillers in the first three days after surgery.
