Numbing block for pain after liver transplant
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a special numbing injection (erector spinae plane block) to help control pain after liver transplant surgery. It may be a good option if you have severe liver disease and need a transplant.

This trial tests whether a nerve block (called an erector spinae plane block) given before surgery can reduce the amount of pain medicine and anesthesia needed during lumbar disc surgery. It may help people have less pain and fewer side effects.
This study tests a numbing block (called an external oblique intercostal plane block) to see if it helps control pain after liver surgery. It may be a good option if you are having a hepatectomy and want to reduce pain and reliance on painkillers.
This study compares two types of pain-relieving nerve blocks used during liver surgery to see which one helps you breathe better and recover more comfortably after the operation.
This trial tests whether an “ESP block” (a targeted local anesthetic injection near nerves) works better than standard care to control pain after percutaneous kidney stone removal. If it helps with pain, it could reduce the need for stronger pain medicines after surgery.
This study tests a continuous nerve block (ESP block) placed near the spine to control pain after bypass surgery. It aims to see if this block improves recovery and reduces pain.
This trial tests whether the position of patients during a nerve block (ESPB) affects pain relief after video-assisted lung surgery. It aims to find the best way to give the block for better comfort after surgery.
