Nerve block pain relief after kidney stone surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after kidney stone removal surgery. If you are having this surgery, you may experience less pain and need fewer pain medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways to manage pain after kidney stone removal surgery. Some patients will receive a numbing injection near the back (a nerve block), while others will receive standard pain medication. The goal is to see which method works better and helps you recover more comfortably.
This trial tests whether an “ESP block” (a targeted local anesthetic injection near nerves) works better than standard care to control pain after percutaneous kidney stone removal. If it helps with pain, it could reduce the need for stronger pain medicines after surgery.
This trial compares two types of nerve-blocking injections (ESP and EXORA blocks) to reduce pain after laparoscopic kidney removal surgery. The goal is to see which method works better for controlling pain after the procedure.
This trial tests two different types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one works better at controlling pain after open kidney removal surgery. You would receive one of these blocks during surgery to help reduce pain and the amount of strong pain medication you need afterward.
This study compares two different nerve-block techniques to see which works better for pain control after open kidney surgery. One block targets muscles between the ribs, the other targets muscles around the spine. You will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups.
This study tests a nerve block (called Quadro Iliac Plane Block) given during kidney stone surgery to see if it helps control pain after the procedure. If you are having this type of surgery and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
