Nerve block for better recovery after open liver surgery
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a specific type of nerve block (called an intertransverse process block) to see if it helps patients recover better after open liver surgery. The nerve block is given before surgery to reduce pain and improve your overall recovery experience.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are scheduled to have open liver surgery (hepatectomy) for a benign or malignant liver tumor.
- You have a physical status of ASA I, II, or III (meaning you are generally healthy or have well-controlled health issues).
- You do not have a bleeding disorder that would make a nerve block unsafe.
- You are not allergic to local anesthetics like lidocaine or bupivacaine.

This trial compares two different nerve-block techniques (numbing methods) used during minimally invasive liver surgery to see which better reduces pain after the procedure. Both techniques are standard care options, and this study helps doctors understand which works best for patients.
This trial compares two types of nerve-blocking injections given before breast removal surgery to help reduce pain and improve recovery. The goal is to see which method works better for comfort and quality of life after surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks — one guided by ultrasound — to see which provides better pain control after liver surgery for cancer. If you are having a hepatectomy, this trial may help find a less painful recovery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (intertransverse process block and erector spinae plane block) to see which provides better pain relief after gallbladder removal surgery using small incisions (laparoscopic cholecystectomy).
This study tests a nerve block (an injection near the spine) to see if it reduces pain after lung surgery (thoracotomy with lobectomy). If you are having planned lung surgery, this could help manage your pain with fewer side effects.
This trial tests a nerve block (the intertransverse process block) to see if it helps people feel better and recover more smoothly after heart surgery through a breastbone incision. If you are having one of several common heart surgeries for the first time (not an emergency), you may be able to take part.
