Nerve block vs standard pain relief for kidney stone surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares a nerve block (erector spinae block) to standard pain medicine for controlling pain after kidney stone removal surgery (PCNL). It aims to see which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.

This study compares two different nerve block techniques to see which provides better pain relief after surgery to remove kidney stones. It aims to help patients experience less pain and need fewer pain medications afterward.
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 trial tests whether a special nerve-numbing injection in the back (guided by ultrasound imaging) can reduce pain after kidney removal surgery. If it works well, it could help patients recover more comfortably with less need for strong pain medications.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (ESP block and M-TAPA block) to see which provides better pain control after kidney removal surgery. It aims to improve your comfort and recovery.
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 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.
