Numbing injection for pain relief during kidney stone treatment
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a numbing injection (a 'retrolaminar block') in your back to see if it reduces pain and improves comfort during a procedure that breaks up kidney stones with sound waves (ESWL). The block is given before the procedure, and you lie on your stomach during the treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be scheduled to have ESWL (a procedure that uses sound waves to break up kidney stones) while lying on your stomach.
- You must be in generally good health (classified as ASA I-III by your anesthesiologist).
- You must not have a bleeding disorder or be taking blood-thinning medication.
- You must not be allergic to local anesthetics or sedatives.

This study tests a nerve block (called Quadro Iliac Plane Block) given during kidney stone surgery to see if it helps control pain after the procedure. If you are having this type of surgery and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (injections near nerves) to see which one works better for pain relief after kidney stone surgery. It aims to find a more effective way to manage pain, which could help you feel more comfortable after surgery.
This trial tests whether an “ESP block” (a targeted local anesthetic injection near nerves) works better than standard care to control pain after percutaneous kidney stone removal. If it helps with pain, it could reduce the need for stronger pain medicines after surgery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after kidney stone removal surgery. Some patients will receive a numbing injection near the back (a nerve block), while others will receive standard pain medication. The goal is to see which method works better and helps you recover more comfortably.
This study tests whether numbing medicine placed directly into the bladder can reduce pain after a ureteroscopy procedure for kidney stones. It may help you feel better and use less pain medication after surgery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after kidney stone removal surgery. If you are having this surgery, you may experience less pain and need fewer pain medicines.
