Nerve block for severe abdominal pain in the emergency department
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a nerve block can provide better pain relief for severe abdominal pain that hasn't improved with standard pain medicine. It's for people who are not candidates for surgery and are in the emergency department or already in the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have severe abdominal pain that continues after taking more than one dose of narcotic pain medicine.
- Your abdominal pain is not due to a surgical problem (a doctor has checked and confirmed no surgery is needed).
- You are either in the emergency department or already admitted to the hospital.
- You are not pregnant, do not have an infection at the injection site, a bleeding disorder, or an allergy to anesthetics.

This study tests a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) to see if it helps reduce pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. If you're having keyhole surgery, you may receive the block along with standard anesthesia.
This trial compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during surgery to help reduce pain afterward in children having upper abdominal surgery. The goal is to find which method works better to keep kids more comfortable after their operation.
This study tests whether a nerve block, called an erector spinae plane block, can reduce severe abdominal pain in people with gastrointestinal cancer who come to the emergency room. If you have cancer in your digestive system and are in pain that isn't controlled, this trial may help.
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 trial tests whether a numbing injection near your spine can quickly relieve sudden back pain that has lasted less than six weeks. If it works, it could be a fast, non-opioid option during an ER visit.
This study tests a numbing injection near the back muscles to see if it quickly relieves sudden low back pain and helps you move more easily. It may offer a new option for people who have trouble walking due to pain.
