Pain block comparison for hand-assisted kidney donor surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two different pain-block methods (called PQLB and TFPB) to see which works better for people donating a kidney through a minimally invasive hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery. If you're a kidney donor, you may get better pain relief with one of these blocks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 to 84 years old.

This trial tests a nerve block called a quadroiliac plane block to see if it helps control pain after kidney transplant surgery. If you are having a kidney transplant, this study might help reduce your pain and need for pain medication.
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 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 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 study compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic kidney donation surgery: a nerve block (injection near the belly muscles) versus injecting numbing medicine directly into the surgical wound. The goal is to see which method helps you breathe better after surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (injections near nerves) to see which one works better for pain relief after kidney stone surgery. It aims to find a more effective way to manage pain, which could help you feel more comfortable after surgery.
