Nerve block vs wound injection for breathing after kidney donation
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic kidney donation surgery: a nerve block (injection near the belly muscles) versus injecting numbing medicine directly into the surgical wound. The goal is to see which method helps you breathe better after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is testing a nerve block (a numbing injection) placed near the breastbone to see if it helps your lungs work better after heart surgery. If you are having planned heart surgery through a breastbone cut, you may be able to join.
This study compares two different pain-block methods (called PQLB and TFPB) to see which works better for people donating a kidney through a minimally invasive hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery. If you're a kidney donor, you may get better pain relief with one of these blocks.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery to remove a kidney. If you are having this surgery, the results may help your doctors choose the best way to manage your pain.
This study compares two different nerve-block techniques to see which works better for pain control after open kidney surgery. One block targets muscles between the ribs, the other targets muscles around the spine. You will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups.
This trial compares two types of nerve-blocking injections (ESP and EXORA blocks) to reduce pain after laparoscopic kidney removal surgery. The goal is to see which method works better for controlling pain after the procedure.
This trial tests a nerve block called a quadroiliac plane block to see if it helps control pain after kidney transplant surgery. If you are having a kidney transplant, this study might help reduce your pain and need for pain medication.
