This trial tests if adding tramadol and magnesium to a local anesthetic (ropivacaine) improves pain control after robotic prostate removal. It may help reduce the need for strong painkillers after surgery.
Athens, AtticaAges 40–80 - NCT07280949Recruiting
Pain relief study for laparoscopic colon surgery
This study tests a new combination of pain blocks for people having laparoscopic (keyhole) colon or rectal surgery. The goal is to see if adding a back muscle block to the standard abdominal wall block provides better pain relief.
Cairo, GovernorateAges 18–90 - NCT07273136Recruiting
Belly nerve block vs. epidural for pain after cancer surgery
This study compares two ways to manage pain after major abdominal cancer surgery: a numbing injection around the belly muscles (subcostal and lateral TAP block) versus an epidural (a thin tube placed in your back). The goal is to see which provides better pain relief.
AsyutAges 18 years+ - NCT06925152RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve block for C-section pain in complex surgery history
This study tests a targeted numbing injection (a nerve block) in the belly wall during C-sections to improve pain control and recovery for people who have had multiple or complex abdominal surgeries. It aims to see if this approach reduces the need for strong pain medicines.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18–50 - NCT07366138Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain after sleeve gastrectomy surgery
This trial compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to manage pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. If you are having this weight-loss surgery, these blocks might help reduce your need for pain medicine and improve your recovery.
Banhā, BenhaAges 18–65 - NCT07602452Recruiting
Pain Relief Methods After Colorectal Surgery
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 - NCT07351253Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for open appendix surgery
This study tests two types of nerve blocks (Erector Spinae Plane Block and Lateral Transversus Abdominis Plane Block) to see which provides better pain relief after open appendectomy. This could help reduce pain and the need for stronger painkillers after surgery.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 21 years+ - NCT04979338RecruitingPhase 3
Opioid-sparing pain control for gender-affirming surgery
This Phase 3 study tests ways to manage pain during and after gender-affirming surgery while using less opioid medicine. It may help improve comfort after surgery and reduce opioid-related side effects.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05750992Recruiting
Ultrasound vs surgery guidance for numbing during C-section
This trial compares two ways of placing numbing medicine (with bupivacaine) during a planned C-section: an ultrasound-guided approach versus a surgical approach. It aims to find which method provides better pain control and comfort with fewer problems.
CairoAges 21–35 - NCT06123117Recruiting
Nerve block vs local painkiller for gallbladder surgery recovery
This study compares two ways of giving pain relief after gallbladder removal surgery. It tests if a nerve block (STALL) works better than injecting numbing medicine directly into the surgery site. The goal is to find which method reduces pain and the need for painkillers.
Espoo, UusimaaAges 18 years+ - NCT06324942Recruiting
Nerve block for C-section pain relief
This study tests whether an extra nerve block (called a TAP block) given by your surgeon during a planned C-section can provide better pain relief than standard care alone. Researchers want to see if it reduces the need for stronger pain medicines after delivery.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06499792Recruiting
Nerve block for pain after pancreatic surgery
This trial looks at whether adding a nerve block (TAP block) to spinal anesthesia can reduce pain and the need for opioids after surgery to remove part of the pancreas (Whipple procedure). If you are scheduled for this type of surgery, this approach might help your recovery.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06621472Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for liver surgery pain
This study compares two types of pain-relieving injections (nerve blocks) used during liver surgery. One is a retrolaminar block and the other is a subcostal transversus abdominis plane block. The goal is to see which one provides better pain control after surgery.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06731998Recruiting
Improving pain control after cancer surgery
This study compares different methods of managing pain after minimally invasive surgery for abdominal cancers. It aims to find which approach works best to reduce pain and improve recovery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–89 - NCT06837909Recruiting
Nerve block vs wound injection for breathing after kidney donation
This study compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic kidney donation surgery: a nerve block (injection near the belly muscles) versus injecting numbing medicine directly into the surgical wound. The goal is to see which method helps you breathe better after surgery.
