Pain relief study for robotic prostate surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding tramadol and magnesium to a local anesthetic (ropivacaine) improves pain control after robotic prostate removal. It may help reduce the need for strong painkillers after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether a laparoscopic nerve block (called a TAP block) given during robotic prostate surgery can reduce postoperative pain. It compares comfort after surgery and looks for side effects or issues that could affect results.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (TAP block and RSB) to see which one works better for pain after robotic prostate removal. It may help you if you are having this surgery and want to manage pain with fewer side effects.
This trial tests different ways to manage pain during and after urologic surgery to help you recover faster and with less discomfort. It compares several pain relief methods, such as epidural blocks and IV pain pumps, to find what works best.
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.
This trial tests a pain management strategy that avoids opioids during and after robotic prostate surgery. It aims to reduce opioid use and side effects while keeping you comfortable.
