Nerve blocks for pain after appendix surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (M-TAPA and TAP) to see which provides better pain relief after laparoscopic appendix removal. If you are having this surgery, you may experience less pain and need fewer painkillers.

This study tests whether two different numbing injections (M-TAPA and TAPB) placed before surgery can reduce pain after keyhole gallbladder removal, compared to standard care. If you qualify, the injections may help you feel less discomfort after the operation.
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.
This study tests a special type of nerve block (called M-TAPA) to manage pain after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. It aims to see if this block provides better pain relief than standard care.
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.
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.
This study tests a nerve block called M-TAPA to reduce pain after laparoscopic hysterectomy. It may help you need less pain medicine and recover more comfortably.
