A new nerve block for less pain after kidney surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a specific nerve block (anterior quadratus lumborum block) given during laparoscopic kidney surgery to see if it reduces pain and speeds recovery. It may help patients who need a nephrectomy (kidney removal) or partial nephrectomy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery to remove a kidney. The blocks are injected near the spine to numb the area and may reduce the need for pain medications.
This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided pain blocks for cancer patients having a kidney removed. It aims to find which block provides better pain control after surgery.
This study tests whether a nerve block (called a quadratus lumborum block) given before a laparoscopic hysterectomy can reduce the amount of strong pain medicine (opioids) you need after surgery. It may help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
This study tests how well a nerve-numbing injection (called a QL block) relieves pain. Researchers will measure how quickly the pain relief works and how long it lasts, which could help doctors use this technique better in the future.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (QL block vs TAP block) to see which one provides better pain relief after lower abdominal surgery. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join and receive one of these blocks to help manage your pain.
This trial tests a nerve block called a quadroiliac plane block to see if it helps control pain after kidney transplant surgery. If you are having a kidney transplant, this study might help reduce your pain and need for pain medication.
