New nerve blocks tested to cut opioid use after heart surgery

NCT ID NCT07433114

Summary

This study compared two different nerve-block techniques for pain relief in adults having minimally invasive heart surgery through a small chest incision. Researchers wanted to see if one method was better at reducing the need for strong opioid painkillers after surgery while improving pain control and overall recovery. The study measured patients' pain levels, opioid use, and quality of recovery in the days following their operation.
