NCT ID NCT07175298
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special nerve block, called SPSIPB, can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after heart surgery. 120 adults having planned heart surgery will either get the block plus standard care, or standard care alone. The goal is to see if the block leads to less opioid use and faster recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
bupivacaine
What this could lead to
If it works, this nerve block could offer better pain control and less reliance on opioids after heart surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial that hasn't started yet. The block may not reduce pain significantly, and there are always risks with any injection near the spine or ribs.
