Nerve Blocks for Pain After Kidney Removal Surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
