Nerve blocks for pain relief during tummy tuck surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (with numbing medicine) to reduce pain during and after tummy tuck surgery. The goal is to see if combining two blocks works better than one block alone.

This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (TAP and ESP) to see which provides better pain relief after tummy tuck surgery. Both are injections near the abdominal muscles that numb the area, and you'll also have a patient-controlled pain pump.
This study tests two types of nerve blocks (Erector Spinae Plane Block and Lateral Transversus Abdominis Plane Block) to see which provides better pain relief after open appendectomy. This could help reduce pain and the need for stronger painkillers after surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (retrolaminar block and TAP block) to see which provides better pain relief after laparoscopic surgery on the upper belly. If you are having this type of surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during surgery to help reduce pain afterward in children having upper abdominal surgery. The goal is to find which method works better to keep kids more comfortable after their operation.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before surgery to see which one controls pain better in children after lower belly surgery. If your child qualifies, they may receive one of these blocks to help them be more comfortable after the operation.
This study compares two types of pain-relieving injections used during a tummy tuck operation. The goal is to see which one works better for reducing pain after surgery.
