Pain relief techniques after minimally invasive liver surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two different nerve-block techniques (numbing methods) used during minimally invasive liver surgery to see which better reduces pain after the procedure. Both techniques are standard care options, and this study helps doctors understand which works best for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Scheduled for robotic or laparoscopic (minimally invasive) liver surgery
- Generally good overall health (not in very poor physical condition)
- No chronic pain condition or regular pain medication use
- No known allergies to anesthesia medicines or numbing drugs
- Able to breathe on your own within 2 hours after surgery (no extended ventilator support needed)

This study compares two types of nerve blocks — one guided by ultrasound — to see which provides better pain control after liver surgery for cancer. If you are having a hepatectomy, this trial may help find a less painful recovery.
This study tests a numbing block (called an external oblique intercostal plane block) to see if it helps control pain after liver surgery. It may be a good option if you are having a hepatectomy and want to reduce pain and reliance on painkillers.
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 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.
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 compares three different nerve blocks to see which provides the best pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. Your participation could help determine a more effective way to manage postoperative pain.
