Patient position for spinal anesthesia in urogenital surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how your position during spinal anesthesia (numbing from the waist down) affects the dose of the numbing medicine (bupivacaine) needed and your blood pressure stability. It may help make anesthesia safer and more comfortable for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are in good health or have only mild health problems (ASA I or II).

This study compares two doses of a numbing medicine given during spinal anesthesia for lower limb surgery in older adults. The goal is to find out if a lower dose works just as well but with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine injected near the spine) to see which one works better for patients having TURP, a common prostate surgery. You might benefit from joining because it could help improve your recovery and comfort during the procedure.
This trial compares two ways of giving the numbing medicine (bupivacaine) to children during surgery below the belly button. It tests whether dosing based on age or weight provides better and safer pain relief during spinal anesthesia.
This early study tests whether using ropivacaine (a local numbing medicine) in spinal anesthesia is safe and workable for certain lower back operations. If you qualify, it may help doctors refine anesthesia choices for your type of surgery.
This study compares how two different doses of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) affect blood pressure during spinal anesthesia. It may help doctors choose the safest dose for patients having surgery.
This study tests two different strengths of a numbing medicine given through a spinal injection before a bladder scope procedure. It aims to find which strength keeps your heart rate and blood pressure more stable during the procedure.
