Pain block comparison for abdominoplasty recovery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
- You received either a TAP or ESP nerve block for pain after surgery
- You used a patient-controlled pain pump (IV PCA) for pain medicine after your block
- Your pain scores were recorded using a VAS (0-10 pain scale)
- You did not have any major complications from the surgery

This study tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief for children after laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. The blocks are given before surgery to help reduce pain afterward.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (TAP block vs. rectus sheath block) for pain relief after tummy tuck surgery. It aims to find which one works better and is safer for patients.
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 (QL block vs TAP block) to see which one provides better pain relief after lower abdominal surgery. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join and receive one of these blocks to help manage your pain.
This trial tests whether a visually guided nerve block (TAP block) during laparoscopic hernia repair reduces pain and improves recovery. If you are having planned hernia surgery, this study may help you experience less pain after the procedure.
