NCT ID NCT07694141
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study observes pain control in adults undergoing planned chest surgery. It compares standard epidural analgesia with a newer nerve block technique called erector spinae plane block, which is safer to place. Researchers will track pain scores and complications to see which method leads to better recovery. The goal is to improve pain management for future patients.
