NCT ID NCT06330168
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding calcitonin to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) in a nerve block can better control pain after chest surgery. 92 adults having chest surgery received either the standard block or one with calcitonin added. The main goals were to see if the combo reduced morphine use in the first 24 hours and lowered the chance of long-term pain at 3 months.
