Nerve block for pain during left-sided colon surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a nerve block given during minimally invasive left-sided colon or rectal surgery to see if it helps reduce pain from internal organs. It may be a good option if you are having planned (non-emergency) laparoscopic or robotic surgery for a left-sided colorectal condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for a planned (non-emergency) laparoscopic or robotic surgery to remove part of the left colon or rectum, with the bowel reconnected inside the abdomen
- Your surgeon plans to use a special nerve block (autonomic neural field block) during the surgery to help with pain
- You are not taking daily strong painkillers (opioids) for more than 30 days before surgery, or a high dose of them
- You are not scheduled for an epidural or spinal injection for pain after surgery
- You are not pregnant, and you are not a prisoner or in a protected population

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 if a nerve block can help control pain after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. The goal is to reduce the need for strong pain medicines and improve recovery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one reduces pain better after laparoscopic stomach cancer surgery. If you qualify, you'll help doctors find the best way to manage pain with fewer side effects.
This trial looks at two different pain-blocking injections (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain after keyhole stomach cancer surgery. If you are having this type of surgery, joining could help us learn which block gives you better pain relief.
This trial tests a nerve block injection in the abdominal wall to reduce pain after gallbladder removal surgery. It may help patients recover more comfortably.
This study tests a nerve block called the external oblique intercostal block to reduce pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. If you are having this surgery, the block may help you need less pain medication and feel more comfortable after the procedure.
