Nerve blocks for pain after lower belly surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (QL block vs TAP block) to see which one provides better pain relief after lower abdominal surgery. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join and receive one of these blocks to help manage your 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 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 study tests whether a nerve block (called a quadratus lumborum block) given before a laparoscopic hysterectomy can reduce the amount of strong pain medicine (opioids) you need after surgery. It may help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
This study tests how well a nerve-numbing injection (called a QL block) relieves pain. Researchers will measure how quickly the pain relief works and how long it lasts, which could help doctors use this technique better in the future.
This trial compares two nerve-block techniques (Quadratus Lumborum block vs. Transversalis Fascia block) to control pain after inguinal hernia surgery. It aims to find which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (retrolaminar block and TAP block) to see which provides better pain relief after laparoscopic surgery on the upper belly. If you are having this type of surgery, you may be able to join.
