Nerve-block catheters plus spinal morphine for liver surgery pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether placing pain-relief catheters near the back muscle plus giving morphine into the spinal fluid can improve comfort during and after liver surgery. It may help reduce the need for stronger opioid pain medicines afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a nerve block injection in the abdominal wall to reduce pain after gallbladder removal surgery. It may help patients recover more comfortably.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section. One method uses a numbing injection near the belly and the other uses a small dose of morphine given with the spinal. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether adding a small dose of morphine to a numbing injection near the spine (called erector spinae plane block) provides better pain relief after midline belly surgery. It may help reduce the need for other pain medicines and improve recovery.
This trial studies whether using spinal/epidural anesthesia during liver tumor removal surgery can help people recover better and with less pain. It compares this approach to standard general anesthesia care to see if recovery is smoother.
This trial tests whether giving a continuous lidocaine infusion (a numbing medicine) during laparoscopic liver surgery helps reduce pain and improve recovery. You may have less pain after surgery and need fewer opioids.
This trial tests whether a single injection of morphine into the fluid around the spine can provide better pain relief after planned laparoscopic or robotic abdominal surgery. If you are having one of several types of major abdominal surgery that lasts at least 2 hours and requires a hospital stay of at least 1 day, this study may be an option.
