NCT ID NCT07434739

First seen Mar 07, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study compares two ways to manage pain after minimally invasive surgery for esophageal cancer: a paravertebral catheter versus the standard epidural. The goal is to see if the paravertebral approach provides similar or better recovery quality by day three. About 506 adults having this surgery will take part, and researchers will measure pain control, mobility, and side effects like low blood pressure.
