Pelvic nerve numbing for pain after left-sided colon surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a special numbing injection around pelvic nerves during minimally invasive left-sided colon surgery can improve pain control and reduce the need for opioid painkillers after surgery. It aims to help patients recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a laparoscopic or robotic (minimally invasive) surgery to remove part of your left colon or rectum, and the surgeon will reconnect your intestine.
- During your surgery, you will receive a special numbing injection around nerves in your pelvic area to help manage pain.
- You are not taking strong opioid pain medications on a daily basis (for more than 30 days before surgery).
- You will not have an epidural or spinal block for postoperative pain.

This trial tests a nerve block given near the ribs to see if it reduces pain after surgeries like gastric, liver, gallbladder, or pancreatic surgery. It may help you need less pain medicine after the operation.
This trial tests a combination of two pain-management approaches—a long-acting numbing medicine injected near nerves and a self-administered opioid—to see if they help your gut function better and control pain after bowel or colon surgery.
This study tests whether giving a nerve block (an injection that numbs the area around the buttock) before hemorrhoid surgery can reduce pain after the operation. If you're having this surgery, the nerve block may help you recover more comfortably with less need for strong painkillers.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic colon surgery: one uses a morphine injection near the spinal cord, the other uses an epidural catheter for ongoing pain relief. The goal is to find which approach works better with fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after open inguinal hernia repair: a nerve block (injection near the abdominal muscles) versus a low-dose painkiller (morphine) given through the spinal needle. The goal is to find which method provides better relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways to control pain after laparoscopic stomach removal surgery: applying a special temperature-sensitive gel mixed with a numbing medicine to the surgical area, versus a standard ultrasound-guided nerve block (injection of numbing medicine near the abdominal nerves). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief after surgery.
