Nerve Blocks for Open Kidney Removal Surgery Pain
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during kidney removal surgery to see which better controls pain afterward. Both are alternatives to general anesthesia alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for open kidney removal surgery (nephrectomy)
- Your BMI is between 20 and 35 kg/m² (your height-to-weight ratio falls in this range)
- Your overall health status is ASA II or III (you may have one or two mild-to-moderate medical conditions, but you're generally stable)

This trial tests two different types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one works better at controlling pain after open kidney removal surgery. You would receive one of these blocks during surgery to help reduce pain and the amount of strong pain medication you need afterward.
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.
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. If you are having this surgery, the results may help your doctors choose the best way to manage your pain.
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 trial studies using a small-needle spinal/epidural type pain medicine delivered to your back during a keyhole kidney removal. It may help control pain and reduce the need for stronger pain medicines during and after surgery.
