Pain relief after minimally invasive gastrointestinal tumor surgery in older adults
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies whether an abdominal wall nerve block improves pain control and recovery in adults 65 and older having minimally invasive surgery for gastrointestinal tumors. It may reduce the need for strong painkillers and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years of age or older.
- You are scheduled for minimally invasive surgery for a gastrointestinal tumor.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 30.
- You do not have severe chronic pain or take strong painkillers regularly.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder, infection at the injection site, or allergy to anesthetics.

This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for controlling pain after weight-loss surgery. If you qualify, you would receive one of these injections before surgery to help reduce pain and make recovery more comfortable.
This study tests whether combining a specific type of chest surgery (using small cameras) with numbing injections around nerves reduces pain and the need for strong pain medications after surgery. Researchers want to see if this approach helps patients recover better with less opioid use.
This study tests two types of nerve blocks (Erector Spinae Plane Block and Lateral Transversus Abdominis Plane Block) to see which provides better pain relief after open appendectomy. This could help reduce pain and the need for stronger painkillers after surgery.
This study tests adding a special nerve block (peripheral autonomic block) to a standard abdominal wall block to see if it provides better pain relief after minimally invasive left-sided colon surgery. It may help patients experience less pain and use fewer pain medications.
This trial tests whether a visually guided nerve block (TAP block) during laparoscopic hernia repair reduces pain and improves recovery. If you are having planned hernia surgery, this study may help you experience less pain after the procedure.
This study tests a new combination of pain blocks for people having laparoscopic (keyhole) colon or rectal surgery. The goal is to see if adding a back muscle block to the standard abdominal wall block provides better pain relief.
