This trial compares two types of nerve blocks for pain after open heart surgery through the breastbone. One block is the parasternal block plus rectus sheath block, and the other is the parasternal block plus erector spinae plane block. The goal is to find which combination provides better pain relief.
This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided pain blocks for cancer patients having a kidney removed. It aims to find which block provides better pain control after surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after open kidney cancer surgery. If you qualify, you'll receive one of the two blocks before your surgery to help manage pain afterwards.
This study compares two types of pain-relieving nerve blocks used during liver surgery to see which one helps you breathe better and recover more comfortably after the operation.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to control pain after upper abdominal surgery. One block targets the rhomboid intercostal area, and the other targets the erector spinae muscle. This could help reduce pain and improve recovery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery to remove a kidney. The blocks are injected near the spine to numb the area and may reduce the need for pain medications.
