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.

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 two ways to manage pain after appendix removal surgery. Some patients will get a numbing injection (TAP block) to reduce pain, and others will not, so doctors can see which approach works better for recovery.
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.
This trial compares three ways to manage pain after open heart surgery to see which best prevents long-term chronic pain. It may help you decide with your doctor which pain control option is right for you.
This study tries to understand and predict persistent pain after elective surgery on the thoraco-abdominal aorta (a major blood vessel in the chest and belly). The goal is to learn what factors may help patients have less long-lasting pain after surgery.
