Pain Control After Ear Surgery (Mastoidectomy)
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a pain-blocking injection to reduce pain after a specific type of ear surgery (mastoidectomy). It may help you feel less pain after your operation.

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (thoracic interfascial plane block vs. erector spinae plane block) to see which provides better pain relief after a mastectomy. It may help you have less pain and need fewer painkillers after surgery.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation on the outer ear can help reduce the amount of strong pain medicine (opioids) you need after a major abdominal surgery. The stimulation targets a nerve called the vagus nerve, which helps control pain and recovery.
