Nerve block may beat standard numbing for port placement pain
NCT ID NCT07579572
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a specific nerve block (SPSIP block) reduces pain better than standard local anesthetic during port catheter implantation. Sixty-six adults scheduled for the procedure were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or standard numbing. Researchers measured pain scores during the procedure to see which method worked best.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block (a nerve block procedure) and local anesthetic infiltration
What this could lead to
If the nerve block works better, it could offer a more effective way to reduce pain during port placement, making the procedure more comfortable for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 66 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The nerve block is a procedure with its own risks, such as bleeding or infection.
