Nerve block for pain after pancreatic surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether adding a nerve block (TAP block) to spinal anesthesia can reduce pain and the need for opioids after surgery to remove part of the pancreas (Whipple procedure). If you are scheduled for this type of surgery, this approach might help your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 18 years of age or older
- Planned pancreatic surgery (Whipple procedure) at Strasbourg University Hospital between June 2022 and May 2024
- You haven't said no to your health data being used for research
- You were not admitted to the ICU after surgery and your surgery was not cut short by the surgeon

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a nerve-blocking procedure during an endoscopy can reduce pain from pancreatic cancer. Participants will get the procedure either with or without bupivacaine, a local numbing medicine.
This study tests whether a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine near the belly muscles) can improve pain control for older adults having minimally invasive surgery for gastrointestinal tumors. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after surgery.
This trial tests a nerve block given near the ribs to see if it reduces pain after surgeries like gastric, liver, gallbladder, or pancreatic surgery. It may help you need less pain medicine after the operation.
This trial tests whether an early nerve block during endoscopy can better control pain from pancreatic cancer compared to waiting and using standard treatments.
This study tests adding a special nerve block (peripheral autonomic block) to a standard abdominal wall block to see if it provides better pain relief after minimally invasive left-sided colon surgery. It may help patients experience less pain and use fewer pain medications.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after Whipple surgery: a long-lasting numbing injection near the belly muscles (rectus sheath block) versus an epidural (a tube placed in your back). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
