Nerve block to reduce opioid use after kidney donor surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a nerve block called Transversalis Fascia Plane Block to see if it lowers the amount of strong pain medicine (opioids) needed after a kidney donor surgery. It may help you have less pain and fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are approved by the transplant committee to donate a kidney.
- You are scheduled for a specific type of keyhole kidney donation surgery (hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy).
- You are not allergic to any pain medicines used in the study, like local anesthetics or opioids.
- You do not take strong pain medicines (opioids) regularly.
- You are in good general health (no major organ problems).

This trial tests a nerve block called a quadroiliac plane block to see if it helps control pain after kidney transplant surgery. If you are having a kidney transplant, this study might help reduce your pain and need for pain medication.
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 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 compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic kidney donation surgery: a nerve block (injection near the belly muscles) versus injecting numbing medicine directly into the surgical wound. The goal is to see which method helps you breathe better after surgery.
This study compares different pain management techniques during kidney transplant surgery. It aims to find the most effective way to control pain after your operation.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery to remove a kidney. The blocks are injected near the spine to numb the area and may reduce the need for pain medications.
