Comparing two nerve blocks for pain after robotic prostate surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (TAP block and RSB) to see which one works better for pain after robotic prostate removal. It may help you if you are having this surgery and want to manage pain with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 79 years old.
- You had a robotic radical prostatectomy (surgery to remove the prostate using a robot).
- Your overall health is classified as ASA 1, 2, or 3 (relatively healthy to stable chronic disease).
- You are not allergic to local anesthetics (numbing medications).
- Your platelet count is 100,000 or higher and your INR (blood clotting test) is 2 or lower.
