Pain block comparison for kidney surgery patients
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided pain blocks for cancer patients having a kidney removed. It aims to find which block provides better pain control after surgery.

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery to remove a kidney. The blocks are injected near the spine to numb the area and may reduce the need for pain medications.
This trial compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief for patients undergoing open kidney removal (nephrectomy). If you have kidney cancer and are scheduled for this surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial tests two different types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one works better at controlling pain after open kidney removal surgery. You would receive one of these blocks during surgery to help reduce pain and the amount of strong pain medication you need afterward.
This trial compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during kidney removal surgery to see which better controls pain afterward. Both are alternatives to general anesthesia alone.
This trial tests a specific nerve block (anterior quadratus lumborum block) given during laparoscopic kidney surgery to see if it reduces pain and speeds recovery. It may help patients who need a nephrectomy (kidney removal) or partial nephrectomy.
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.
