This study compares two ways to control pain after surgery for living liver donors. It tests if one method works better than the other, which could help you recover more comfortably.
This study looks at how the donor's liver grows back after donating a part of it for a living donor liver transplant. If you have donated a part of your liver between 2004 and 2026, joining could help doctors learn more about liver healing.
This study tests a nerve block called Transversalis Fascia Plane Block to see if it lowers the amount of strong pain medicine (opioids) needed after a kidney donor surgery. It may help you have less pain and fewer side effects.
This study looks at anxiety levels in people who donate part of their liver to help someone else. Researchers want to understand how donors feel before and after surgery, which may help support donors better in the future.
This trial tests whether a gentle, needle-free electrical stimulation on certain points on the body (called TEAS) can help reduce chronic pain after liver surgery and improve long-term survival. It may be a good option if you are scheduled for a liver removal and want to explore non-drug pain relief.
This study tests if a low-level laser or gentle movement therapy for nerves in the arm can help relieve shoulder pain after donating part of your liver. You will be randomly assigned to one of two treatments and attend supervised sessions.
