Nerve blocks could reduce pain medication needs after heart surgery
NCT ID NCT03743194
Summary
This study tested whether injecting numbing medication near specific chest muscles (nerve blocks) provides better pain relief than standard pain medications after minimally invasive heart valve surgery. Researchers enrolled 210 adults undergoing this specific procedure to compare pain levels, opioid medication use, and breathing recovery in the first three days after surgery. The goal was to determine if this approach improves overall recovery while reducing reliance on strong painkillers.
