Comparing two nerve blocks for stomach surgery pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one reduces pain better after laparoscopic stomach cancer surgery. If you qualify, you'll help doctors find the best way to manage pain with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older
- Your physical health must be rated as ASA I, II, or III by your anesthesiologist
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic (keyhole) stomach removal surgery under general anesthesia
- You cannot have used strong painkillers (opioids) for more than 3 months or be dependent on them
- You must not have severe kidney or liver disease, and no allergy to numbing medications

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.
This study compares two different types of nerve blocks used to reduce pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The goal is to see which block provides better recovery, less pain, and fewer side effects after surgery.
This study compares two ways to control pain after laparoscopic stomach removal surgery: applying a special temperature-sensitive gel mixed with a numbing medicine to the surgical area, versus a standard ultrasound-guided nerve block (injection of numbing medicine near the abdominal nerves). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief after surgery.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for controlling pain after weight-loss surgery. If you qualify, you would receive one of these injections before surgery to help reduce pain and make recovery more comfortable.
This study compares two different nerve blocks used to reduce pain after robotic colorectal surgery. The goal is to see which block provides better pain relief and helps you recover more comfortably.
This trial tests a nerve block given near the ribs to see if it reduces pain after surgeries like gastric, liver, gallbladder, or pancreatic surgery. It may help you need less pain medicine after the operation.
