Pain control after open aneurysm surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two different ways to manage pain after open surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. It compares a standard pain control method to another approach that may reduce the need for strong painkillers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies an “opioid-free” anesthesia and pain plan during planned open surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The goal is to see whether this approach reduces surgical stress and pain compared with usual care.
This trial compares standard open appendectomy (removing the appendix through a cut in the belly) with the same surgery plus an extra numbing injection called a TAP block. The TAP block may help reduce pain after surgery, and this study will see if it works better.
This trial tests whether a structured pre-surgery program (exercise and coaching) can help people prepare for elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. It may help reduce problems and improve recovery by strengthening the body before surgery.
This study tests whether a supervised “prehabilitation” program before planned open surgery helps you recover better after abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery. It’s mainly about improving outcomes when you have time to prepare for at least 6 weeks.
This study tests a pain management plan led by anesthesiologists for people having complex anorectal surgery. The goal is to see if this approach can better control pain and improve recovery.
This trial tests a combination of two pain-management approaches—a long-acting numbing medicine injected near nerves and a self-administered opioid—to see if they help your gut function better and control pain after bowel or colon surgery.
