Nerve block comparison for open appendix surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two types of nerve blocks (Erector Spinae Plane Block and Lateral Transversus Abdominis Plane Block) to see which provides better pain relief after open appendectomy. This could help reduce pain and the need for stronger painkillers after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older)
- You are scheduled to have an open appendectomy (not laparoscopic)
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners
- You are not allergic to any of the pain medications used in the study
- You do not have a current infection where the injection would be given
- You do not have chronic pain or use strong pain relievers regularly

This study tests a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) to see if it helps reduce pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. If you're having keyhole surgery, you may receive the block along with standard anesthesia.
This study tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief for children after laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. The blocks are given before surgery to help reduce pain afterward.
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 trial compares two types of nerve blocks (with numbing medicine) to reduce pain during and after tummy tuck surgery. The goal is to see if combining two blocks works better than one block alone.
This trial compares two different nerve-block techniques (numbing injections near the spine) to see which one better reduces pain after minimally invasive gallbladder removal surgery. You would receive one of these pain-relief methods during surgery to help you feel more comfortable afterward.
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.
