New study seeks best pain block for heart surgery patients
NCT ID NCT07388745
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (ESPB and SPSIPB) to see which provides better pain relief after coronary artery bypass surgery. About 64 adults aged 45-85 will receive one of the blocks before surgery, and their pain levels, opioid use, and recovery speed will be tracked. The goal is to improve pain management and help patients recover faster with fewer side effects.
