Comparing two nerve blocks for pain after liver surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks — one guided by ultrasound — to see which provides better pain control after liver surgery for cancer. If you are having a hepatectomy, this trial may help find a less painful recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
