New study tests if a simpler pain block beats epidural for esophageal cancer recovery
NCT ID NCT07434739
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.
