Ultrasound nerve block for kidney surgery pain relief
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special nerve-numbing injection in the back (guided by ultrasound imaging) can reduce pain after kidney removal surgery. If it works well, it could help patients recover more comfortably with less need for strong pain medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 64 years old
- You are scheduled for open kidney removal surgery under general anesthesia
- You are in generally good health (no serious heart, lung, or other medical conditions)
- You have no allergy to local anesthetic medications (numbing drugs)
- You have no infection, skin problems, or spine abnormalities where the injection would be placed
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood-thinning medications that cannot be stopped

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 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.
This trial compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief for patients undergoing open kidney removal (nephrectomy). If you have kidney cancer and are scheduled for this surgery, you may be able to join.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after open kidney cancer surgery. If you qualify, you'll receive one of the two blocks before your surgery to help manage pain afterwards.
This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided pain blocks for cancer patients having a kidney removed. It aims to find which block provides better pain control after surgery.
