Pain relief after liver donor surgery: two methods compared
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to control pain after surgery for living liver donors. It tests if one method works better than the other, which could help you recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You are a healthy liver donor (with mild or no health problems)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 30
- You have no history of bleeding problems

This study compares different pain management techniques during kidney transplant surgery. It aims to find the most effective way to control pain after your operation.
This study compares two types of pain-relieving injections (nerve blocks) used during liver surgery. One is a retrolaminar block and the other is a subcostal transversus abdominis plane block. The goal is to see which one provides better pain control after surgery.
This study tests a numbing injection (called a nerve block) around the ribs to reduce pain after liver surgery. If it works well, you may need less pain medicine and feel more comfortable after the operation.
This trial studies whether using spinal/epidural anesthesia during liver tumor removal surgery can help people recover better and with less pain. It compares this approach to standard general anesthesia care to see if recovery is smoother.
This trial tests a special numbing injection (erector spinae plane block) to help control pain after liver transplant surgery. It may be a good option if you have severe liver disease and need a transplant.
This trial tests whether placing pain-relief catheters near the back muscle plus giving morphine into the spinal fluid can improve comfort during and after liver surgery. It may help reduce the need for stronger opioid pain medicines afterward.
