Pain control study for better recovery after urologic surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests different ways to manage pain during and after urologic surgery to help you recover faster and with less discomfort. It compares several pain relief methods, such as epidural blocks and IV pain pumps, to find what works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having urologic surgery (on your kidney, bladder, prostate, etc.).
- You will receive one of these pain control methods: epidural, paravertebral block, TAP block, IV PCA, or intrathecal morphine.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or clotting problem.
- You do not have an infection at the injection site or a body-wide infection.
- You are not allergic to local anesthetics (numbing medicines).
- You do not have a severe spinal problem or injury.
- You do not have a serious mental health condition that would affect cooperation.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have severe heart or lung disease.

This study tests if a completely opioid-free anesthesia approach works as well as standard general anesthesia for people having laparoscopic or robotic urological surgery. It aims to offer effective pain control without using strong opioid painkillers.
This study compares recovery quality after major urological surgery using either opioid-free or opioid-based general anesthesia. It aims to see if avoiding opioids can improve how patients feel after surgery.
This trial tests if adding tramadol and magnesium to a local anesthetic (ropivacaine) improves pain control after robotic prostate removal. It may help reduce the need for strong painkillers after surgery.
This trial tests a combination of two pain-management approaches—a long-acting numbing medicine injected near nerves and a self-administered opioid—to see if they help your gut function better and control pain after bowel or colon surgery.
This trial compares general anesthesia versus spinal anesthesia with local numbing medicine for penis skin graft surgery. It aims to see which method works better for pain control and recovery.
This trial looks at how well a pain-control plan works after certain orthopedic surgeries and how it affects recovery and patient-reported outcomes. It may help determine what level of pain relief is meaningful to patients after surgery.
