Nerve block to reduce long-term pain after breast surgery
This trial tests whether a specific pain-numbing nerve block given during mastectomy can reduce chronic (long-lasting) pain after breast cancer surgery. It may help some people use less pain medicine later by lowering nerve-related pain after surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06745453Recruiting
Nerve block for back pain in the ER
This trial tests whether a numbing injection near your spine can quickly relieve sudden back pain that has lasted less than six weeks. If it works, it could be a fast, non-opioid option during an ER visit.

Two numbing injections for pain after lung cancer surgery
This study compares two types of numbing injections (one around the spine and another near the back muscles) to see which works better for pain relief after lung cancer surgery. It may help you have less pain and need fewer pain medicines.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06507293Recruiting
Pain relief methods comparison for lung surgery
This trial tests two numbing injections to see which reduces pain medicine use during lung surgery. A special pain monitor guides the treatment. It may help you need fewer opioids during your procedure.

Numbing injection for pain relief after back fusion surgery
This study tests whether a special numbing injection (called an erector spinae plane block) given near the spine during surgery can reduce pain after lumbar fusion. If you qualify, you might have less pain and need fewer painkillers after your operation.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05623722Recruiting
Nerve block to help organ function in severe gut sepsis
This trial studies whether an erector spinae plane nerve block (a pain-control injection near the spine) can improve organ health in adults with sepsis caused by acute gut injury. It’s meant for people sick enough to need ICU care for several days.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04904575Recruiting
Erector spinae pain-block during lumbar fusion surgery
This study tests whether a numbing pain-block in a specific back muscle area (called an “erector spinae plane block”) can improve comfort during lumbar spinal fusion surgery. You might be eligible if you need this type of back surgery and can safely receive the numbing medicine.
Saint-Jean-de-VédasAges 18 years+ - NCT05179928Recruiting
Numbing injections for less pain after belly surgery
This trial compares two different numbing injection techniques to help control pain after surgery above the belly button. It may help people who qualify have better or longer-lasting pain relief with fewer side effects.
