NCT ID NCT06657261
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 60 adults having heart bypass surgery to compare two types of chest wall nerve blocks for pain control. One group got a combination of two blocks, the other got a different pair. Researchers measured pain scores and how much extra pain medicine patients needed. The goal was to find which method works better for recovery.
