This study compares two different numbing techniques (nerve blocks) to help manage pain after open colorectal surgery. Both methods are injected near muscles in your abdomen to reduce the need for strong painkillers after surgery.
CairoAges 18–75 - NCT07578545Recruiting
Pain management after minimally invasive chest surgery
This study tests whether combining a specific type of chest surgery (using small cameras) with numbing injections around nerves reduces pain and the need for strong pain medications after surgery. Researchers want to see if this approach helps patients recover better with less opioid use.
Antalya, MuratpaşaAges 18–75 - NCT07561827RecruitingPhase 3
Nerve Block for Pain After Spine Surgery in Teens
This trial tests whether a numbing injection around the spine muscles (erector spinae plane block) reduces pain and the need for strong pain medications after back surgery for scoliosis in teenagers. The goal is to help young patients recover more comfortably.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 10–18 - NCT07561853Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for pain relief after mastectomy
This study compares two different numbing treatments (nerve blocks) to see which provides better pain relief during and after breast surgery. If you are having a mastectomy, this trial may help reduce your pain after the operation.
SakaryaAges 25–65 - NCT07553611Recruiting
Regional anesthesia and shoulder surgery recovery outcomes
This study compares different numbing techniques used during shoulder arthroscopy (a minimally invasive shoulder surgery) to see which one helps patients recover better, use less pain medication, and experience fewer complications like temporary paralysis of the breathing muscle under the rib cage.
Antalya, MuratpaşaAges 18–65 - NCT07556536Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for kidney removal surgery pain
This trial tests two different types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one works better at controlling pain after open kidney removal surgery. You would receive one of these blocks during surgery to help reduce pain and the amount of strong pain medication you need afterward.
Al FayyumAges 18–65 - NCT07537036Recruiting
Pain Relief Methods for Hip Replacement Surgery
This trial compares two nerve-blocking techniques to reduce pain after hip replacement surgery. Both methods use numbing medication around specific areas near your hip to help you feel more comfortable after the operation.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07534488Recruiting
Pain Relief Nerve Block for Pilonidal Sinus Surgery
This trial tests a pain-relief nerve block (a local anesthetic injection near the spine) during planned pilonidal sinus surgery. The goal is to reduce pain after surgery and improve recovery.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT07535697Recruiting
Pain relief methods after lung surgery: two approaches compared
This study compares two ways to reduce pain after minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS). Researchers test whether numbing the chest wall with ultrasound guidance works as well as numbing nerves seen during surgery to help you recover more comfortably.
Offenbach, HesseAges 18 years+ - NCT06752252Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain after hernia repair in children
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (paravertebral and erector spinae) to see which one provides better pain relief after hernia surgery in children. The goal is to help children feel more comfortable after their operation.
El SharkiaAges 2–12 - NCT07504705Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for pain after gallbladder surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (intertransverse process block and erector spinae plane block) to see which provides better pain relief after gallbladder removal surgery using small incisions (laparoscopic cholecystectomy).
Konya, KonyaAges 18 years+ - NCT06765772Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain relief during tummy tuck surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (with numbing medicine) to reduce pain during and after tummy tuck surgery. The goal is to see if combining two blocks works better than one block alone.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 21–60 - NCT07489001Recruiting
Comparing opioid-free to standard anesthesia for back surgery
This study compares two types of anesthesia for lower back surgery: one that uses opioids and one that does not. The goal is to see which approach controls pain better with fewer side effects.
Istanbul, MaltepeAges 18–75 - NCT07472296Recruiting
Comparing nerve blocks for heart surgery pain relief
This trial compares different types of nerve blocks to see which works best for managing pain after heart surgery through the breastbone. It may help reduce the need for strong pain medications.
Bursa, NilüferAges 18–80 - NCT07455565Recruiting
Pain monitoring with ANI after lumbar spine surgery
This study tests a new way to monitor pain after lower back surgery using a device called ANI, which tracks your body's response to pain. The goal is to see if this method helps doctors give you better pain relief.
