What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested whether two types of nerve blocks (SAP and PECS) can reduce pain and shorten the time patients need a breathing tube after heart bypass surgery. 243 adults undergoing open heart surgery received either a nerve block or standard pain medication. Researchers measured pain scores, opioid use, and recovery times to see which approach works best.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
nerve blocks (serratus anterior plane block and pectoral nerve blocks I-II)
What this could lead to
If effective, these nerve blocks could become a standard way to reduce pain and speed recovery after heart surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a completed trial, but results are not yet published. Nerve blocks carry small risks like bleeding or infection, and may not work better than standard painkillers.
