Comparing two types of nerve blocks for pain after stomach cancer surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for keyhole surgery to remove part or all of your stomach (laparoscopic radical gastrectomy)
- You have not been taking strong pain medicines like opioids for more than 3 months
- You do not have severe kidney or liver disease
- You are not allergic to numbing medicines like lidocaine

This study tests two types of nerve blocks (SPSIP and ESP blocks) to see which one works better for long-term pain after a single-sided breast surgery like mastectomy. It aims to find a safer, more effective way to manage chronic pain after surgery.
This study tests two different ways of numbing nerves near the chest to reduce pain after mastectomy (breast removal surgery). Both methods use local anesthetic injections, and researchers want to see which one works better for pain control.
