Nerve block for better pain relief after colon surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests adding a special nerve block (peripheral autonomic block) to a standard abdominal wall block to see if it provides better pain relief after minimally invasive left-sided colon surgery. It may help patients experience less pain and use fewer pain medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new combination of pain blocks for people having laparoscopic (keyhole) colon or rectal surgery. The goal is to see if adding a back muscle block to the standard abdominal wall block provides better pain relief.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (TAP and M-TAPA) to see which one provides better pain relief after planned laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Both blocks are injections of numbing medicine around your abdomen to help control pain after surgery.
This study compares different methods of managing pain after minimally invasive surgery for abdominal cancers. It aims to find which approach works best to reduce pain and improve recovery.
This study tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief for children after laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. The blocks are given before surgery to help reduce pain afterward.
This trial studies whether an abdominal wall nerve block improves pain control and recovery in adults 65 and older having minimally invasive surgery for gastrointestinal tumors. It may reduce the need for strong painkillers and improve recovery.
This study compares two different ways to give a numbing medicine (TAP block) before abdominal surgery to see which one works better for pain control. If you are scheduled for elective abdominal surgery, joining may help doctors find the best way to manage your pain.
