Two nerve block methods for pain relief after kidney stone surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two different nerve block techniques to see which provides better pain relief after surgery to remove kidney stones. It aims to help patients experience less pain and need fewer pain medications afterward.

This trial compares a nerve block (erector spinae block) to standard pain medicine for controlling pain after kidney stone removal surgery (PCNL). It aims to see which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
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 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 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 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 types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after open kidney cancer surgery. If you qualify, you'll receive one of the two blocks before your surgery to help manage pain afterwards.
