Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for upper abdominal surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to control pain after upper abdominal surgery. One block targets the rhomboid intercostal area, and the other targets the erector spinae muscle. This could help reduce pain and improve recovery.
