Pain relief study for robotic prostate surgery
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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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.
Petah TikvaAges 18 years+ - NCT06845215Recruiting
Pain block comparison for abdominoplasty recovery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (TAP and ESP) to see which provides better pain relief after tummy tuck surgery. Both are injections near the abdominal muscles that numb the area, and you'll also have a patient-controlled pain pump.
Ankara, KeçiörenAges Any age - NCT06932835Recruiting
Pain relief after gallbladder surgery: TAP vs. M-TAPA block
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (TAP and M-TAPA) to see which one provides better pain relief after planned laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Both blocks are injections of numbing medicine around your abdomen to help control pain after surgery.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06978179Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain after lower belly surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (QL block vs TAP block) to see which one provides better pain relief after lower abdominal surgery. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join and receive one of these blocks to help manage your pain.
SohagAges 18–65 - NCT07242196Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain after laparoscopic surgery in children
This study tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief for children after laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. The blocks are given before surgery to help reduce pain afterward.
Sakarya, SerdivanAges 6 months–16 years - NCT07264699Recruiting
Guided nerve block for hernia repair pain control
This trial tests whether a visually guided nerve block (TAP block) during laparoscopic hernia repair reduces pain and improves recovery. If you are having planned hernia surgery, this study may help you experience less pain after the procedure.
Olsztyn, Warmisko-mazurskieAges 18–80 - NCT07388953Recruiting
Nerve block for better pain relief after colon surgery
This study tests adding a special nerve block (peripheral autonomic block) to a standard abdominal wall block to see if it provides better pain relief after minimally invasive left-sided colon surgery. It may help patients experience less pain and use fewer pain medications.
Belo Horizonte, Minas GeraisAges 18–80 - NCT07496086Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for stomach surgery pain
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one reduces pain better after laparoscopic stomach cancer surgery. If you qualify, you'll help doctors find the best way to manage pain with fewer side effects.
YinchuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07577934Recruiting
Liposomal Bupivacaine for Pain Relief in Gallbladder Surgery
This trial tests a long-acting numbing medication (liposomal bupivacaine) injected around abdominal muscles during laparoscopic gallbladder removal to reduce pain after surgery. The goal is to see if it provides better pain control compared to standard approaches.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07604376Recruiting
Nerve Block Pain Relief After Cesarean Delivery
This study tests whether a nerve-numbing injection in the abdomen helps reduce pain after a cesarean (C-section) delivery. The injection uses a local anesthetic to numb the area around your surgical wound, potentially reducing pain and the need for stronger pain medicines after surgery.
