Pain-control injections compared after open kidney surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of pain-control injections placed near the back to see which works better after open kidney (nephrectomy) surgery. If you’re having elective open nephrectomy, it may help doctors choose the safest and most effective way to reduce postoperative pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled for elective open kidney surgery (nephrectomy).
- Your overall health status should be in ASA 1 to ASA 3.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be under 35.
- You should not have an infection on the side where the injection would be placed.
- You should not have a bleeding/clotting problem (a coagulation disorder).

This study compares two different nerve-block techniques to see which works better for pain control after open kidney surgery. One block targets muscles between the ribs, the other targets muscles around the spine. You will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups.
This trial compares two types of nerve-blocking injections (ESP and EXORA blocks) to reduce pain after laparoscopic kidney removal surgery. The goal is to see which method works better for controlling pain after the procedure.
This study compares different ways to manage pain after a procedure that removes kidney stones through a small cut in your back. It aims to find which method works best and is safest for patients.
This trial compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during kidney removal surgery to see which better controls pain afterward. Both are alternatives to general anesthesia alone.
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.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after open kidney cancer surgery: an epidural (a thin tube placed near your spine) versus a single spinal injection of opioids. Both aim to control pain, but the study wants to see which method works better, with fewer side effects.
