Two Doses of Dexmedetomidine in TAP Block
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine (two different doses) to a standard numbing shot (bupivacaine) helps control pain better after lower belly cancer surgery. The shot is placed near the tummy muscles (TAP block) to numb the area.

This trial compares two medicines, dexmedetomidine and fentanyl, added to a nerve block for pain control after kidney removal. The goal is to find which provides better pain relief and fewer side effects.
This study tests whether adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to a nerve block (an injection near the spine) can improve pain relief after kidney stone surgery. It is for people who are generally healthy and scheduled for a kidney stone procedure.
This study compares two numbing medicines (bupivacaine alone vs. bupivacaine plus dexmedetomidine) to see which provides better pain relief after abdominal surgery. If you are having a planned abdominal operation, this trial may help improve your recovery comfort.
