Nerve blocks for pain after open kidney surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after open kidney cancer surgery. If you qualify, you'll receive one of the two blocks before your surgery to help manage pain afterwards.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during kidney removal surgery to see which better controls pain afterward. Both are alternatives to general anesthesia alone.
This trial compares two types of nerve-blocking injections (ESP and EXORA blocks) to reduce pain after laparoscopic kidney removal surgery. The goal is to see which method works better for controlling pain after the procedure.
This trial tests whether a special nerve-numbing injection in the back (guided by ultrasound imaging) can reduce pain after kidney removal surgery. If it works well, it could help patients recover more comfortably with less need for strong pain medications.
This trial tests two different types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one works better at controlling pain after open kidney removal surgery. You would receive one of these blocks during surgery to help reduce pain and the amount of strong pain medication you need afterward.
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 trial compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief for patients undergoing open kidney removal (nephrectomy). If you have kidney cancer and are scheduled for this surgery, you may be able to join.
