• Serratus plane blocks for pain after minimally invasive chest repair in teens and young adults

  This study tests whether two regional nerve blocks (serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block vs serratus anterior plane block) lead to lower opioid use after minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum in patients aged 15–25.

  Recruiting Marmara University · Istanbul, Istanbul · NCT07697222

• Understanding subtypes of chronic musculoskeletal pain in youth

  This observational study tests whether distinct brain and immune profiles can explain chronic musculoskeletal pain in teens and young adults to guide more precise treatments.

  Recruiting Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati · Cincinnati, Ohio · NCT07602595

• Intraoperative cryoanalgesia versus thoracic epidural block for pain control after minimally invasive pectus excavatum repair

  This trial will try intraoperative cryoanalgesia versus a thoracic epidural block to see which controls pain better after minimally invasive pectus excavatum repair in patients aged 13 and older.

  Recruiting University of Sao Paulo · São Paulo, São Paulo · NCT07431632

• Modified versus classic Nuss repair for pectus excavatum in adolescents

  This research will see if the modified or classic Nuss procedure gives shorter surgery time, less postoperative pain, shorter ICU stays, and better cosmetic results for teens with pectus excavatum.

  Recruiting University Hospital, Strasbourg, France · Strasbourg · NCT07312448

• Timing of nerve-freezing pain relief after Nuss repair for pectus excavatum

  We will test how quickly a nerve-freezing procedure (percutaneous intercostal cryoneurolysis) reduces chest skin sensitivity in people having Nuss surgery for pectus excavatum.

  Recruiting Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital · Bergamo, BG · NCT07081620

• Comparing one-minute and two-minute cryoanalgesia for pain management in Nuss surgery

  This study is testing whether using cryoanalgesia for one minute instead of two minutes can help reduce pain after Nuss surgery for people with pectus excavatum.

  Recruiting Children's Memorial Health Institute, Poland · Warsaw, Wybierz Województwo · NCT06935799

• Dutch questionnaire to measure how teens feel about pectus excavatum

  This project will test the Dutch Pectus Excavatum Evaluation Questionnaire (PEEQ) in 12–18-year-olds having Nuss surgery to see if it reliably captures their symptoms and quality of life.

  Recruiting Zuyderland Medisch Centrum · Heerlen · NCT06918392

• Comparing pain management methods after pectus surgery

  This study is testing whether using an ES catheter or cryoablation helps people recovering from pectus surgery manage their pain better and reach their physical therapy goals.
