Nerve blocks for pain after abdominal surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two different nerve-block methods to reduce pain inside the belly after surgery. It compares a block near the stomach nerves to a block in the abdominal wall, to see which works better for controlling deep pain.

This trial tests a nerve block given near the ribs to see if it reduces pain after surgeries like gastric, liver, gallbladder, or pancreatic surgery. It may help you need less pain medicine after the operation.
This trial tests if a nerve block can help control pain after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. The goal is to reduce the need for strong pain medicines and improve recovery.
