Pain Relief Methods After Colorectal Surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two different numbing techniques (nerve blocks) to help manage pain after open colorectal surgery. Both methods are injected near muscles in your abdomen to reduce the need for strong painkillers after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) to see if it helps reduce pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. If you're having keyhole surgery, you may receive the block along with standard anesthesia.
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 study compares two different nerve-block pain-relief techniques to help manage pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery (minimally invasive surgery using small incisions). Researchers want to see which method works better and causes fewer side effects.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to control pain after open upper abdominal surgery. It aims to find which block works better and may help you recover with less pain.
This trial compares two anesthetic nerve blocks to see which one reduces the need for opioid pain medicine after gallbladder removal. If you are having laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, this study may help you recover with less pain and fewer opioid side effects.
This trial compares two ways of injecting numbing medication around the spine to reduce pain after robotic colorectal surgery. The goal is to find which method works better and helps patients need fewer opioid painkillers during recovery.
