Pain relief study for laparoscopic colon surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You are scheduled for elective (not emergency) laparoscopic or robotic colon or rectal surgery.
- You have an ASA physical status of I, II, or III (generally healthy to moderate health concerns).
- You do not have a bleeding disorder, infection at the injection site, or allergy to numbing medicines.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or less.

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 study compares two different numbing techniques (nerve blocks) to help manage pain after open colorectal surgery. Both methods are injected near muscles in your abdomen to reduce the need for strong painkillers after surgery.
This study compares two different nerve-block pain-relief techniques to help manage pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery (minimally invasive surgery using small incisions). Researchers want to see which method works better and causes fewer side effects.
This study compares two different injection techniques to reduce pain after appendix removal surgery in children ages 7–12. Both techniques use ultrasound (sound waves) to guide a numbing medication to nerves near the surgical area, and researchers want to see which works better.
This study tests whether a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine near the belly muscles) can improve pain control for older adults having minimally invasive surgery for gastrointestinal tumors. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after surgery.
This study compares different methods of managing pain after minimally invasive surgery for abdominal cancers. It aims to find which approach works best to reduce pain and improve recovery.
