NCT ID NCT07433114
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different numbing techniques (ESP block and SAP block) to see which one works better for pain control after heart surgery done through a small chest cut. 57 adults took part, and researchers measured pain levels, morphine use, and overall recovery quality. The goal was to find a way to reduce strong painkillers and help patients recover faster.
