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+ - 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.

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.

Preventing pain after mastectomy: nerve block vs. epidural
This study compares two methods to prevent long-term pain after breast cancer surgery: a nerve block using ultrasound guidance or an epidural. The goal is to see which helps women feel less pain months after their mastectomy.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06888258Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for pain after breast cancer surgery
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after breast cancer surgery. It will help determine which block works better to reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines after a mastectomy.

Dexmedetomidine in a nerve block for kidney stone surgery
This study tests whether adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to a nerve block (an injection near the spine) can improve pain relief after kidney stone surgery. It is for people who are generally healthy and scheduled for a kidney stone procedure.
Asyut, Assiut GovernorateAges 18–70 - NCT06933498Recruiting
Nerve block for less pain meds in back surgery
This trial tests whether a nerve block (called an erector spinae plane block) given before surgery can reduce the amount of pain medicine and anesthesia needed during lumbar disc surgery. It may help people have less pain and fewer side effects.

Speed of numbing medicine in a nerve block for lung nodule localization
This trial tests if the injection speed affects how well a numbing medicine spreads during a specific type of nerve block used for CT-guided lung nodule localization. It may help reduce discomfort during the procedure.
