New pain block combo may speed recovery after heart surgery
NCT ID NCT07522229
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two ways to manage pain after heart surgery: one using a single nerve block near the breastbone, and another adding a second block near the ribs. 72 adults having planned heart surgery took part. The goal was to see if the combined block reduced pain and helped patients recover faster. Results will show which method works better for pain control and getting patients out of bed sooner.
