Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for laparoscopic upper abdominal surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (retrolaminar block and TAP block) to see which provides better pain relief after laparoscopic surgery on the upper belly. If you are having this type of surgery, you may be able to join.

This study tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief for children after laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. The blocks are given before surgery to help reduce pain afterward.
This trial tests whether a visually guided nerve block (TAP block) during laparoscopic hernia repair reduces pain and improves recovery. If you are having planned hernia surgery, this study may help you experience less pain after the procedure.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to control pain after upper abdominal surgery. One block targets the rhomboid intercostal area, and the other targets the erector spinae muscle. This could help reduce pain and improve recovery.
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 trial compares two types of pain blocks (nerve numbing injections) used during laparoscopic abdominal surgery to see which gives better pain relief after the operation. It may help you have less pain and recover more comfortably.
This study tests two types of nerve blocks (Erector Spinae Plane Block and Lateral Transversus Abdominis Plane Block) to see which provides better pain relief after open appendectomy. This could help reduce pain and the need for stronger painkillers after surgery.
