Pain relief methods for faster recovery after urinary surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at whether adding certain pain relief methods (like epidurals or nerve blocks) helps you recover faster after urologic surgery. You'll be placed into one of several groups to compare different pain management approaches.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery on your urinary system (kidney, bladder, prostate, etc.)
- You are generally healthy or have a mild chronic condition (classified as ASA I-III)
- You will receive one of these pain management options: epidural, nerve block, TAP block, patient-controlled pain pump, or spinal morphine
- You do not have a bleeding disorder, infection, or allergy to local anesthetics
- You have not been using high-dose opioids for a long time

This study looks at whether giving a mix of pain medicines (without opioids) before surgery can help you recover faster and avoid needing a catheter after a vaginal repair or sling procedure. It enrolls women having minor gynecologic surgery at the South Shore Surgery Center in New York.
This study tests whether numbing medicine placed directly into the bladder can reduce pain after a ureteroscopy procedure for kidney stones. It may help you feel better and use less pain medication after surgery.
