Comparing two pain blocks for minimally invasive liver surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after minimally invasive liver surgery. It aims to find which block provides better pain control and helps you recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for minimally invasive liver surgery (using small incisions, either robotic or laparoscopic).
- You do not have chronic pain or take regular pain medications (including antidepressants or anti-seizure drugs for pain).
- You are not allergic to general anesthesia, opioids (like morphine), or local anesthetics (numbing medicines).
- Your overall health is not severely compromised (your doctor would not classify you as ASA IV or higher).
- Your surgery is expected to remain minimally invasive (not converted to open surgery).

This study compares two different types of nerve blocks used to manage pain after liver surgery. Both blocks are guided by ultrasound and are meant to reduce pain and improve recovery.
This study compares two types of pain-relieving nerve blocks used during liver surgery to see which one helps you breathe better and recover more comfortably after the operation.
This study compares two types of pain-relieving injections (nerve blocks) used during liver surgery. One is a retrolaminar block and the other is a subcostal transversus abdominis plane block. The goal is to see which one provides better pain control after surgery.
This study tests a numbing injection (called a nerve block) around the ribs to reduce pain after liver surgery. If it works well, you may need less pain medicine and feel more comfortable after the operation.
This trial tests two different types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after upper belly surgery. If you are having open surgery on your stomach, liver, pancreas, or spleen, this study may help reduce your need for strong opioids.
This study tests two different numbing techniques (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain relief after minimally invasive chest surgery. Both methods inject medicine near nerves to reduce post-surgery pain.
