Ultrasound-guided pain block for chronic pain after cancer surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a pain-relieving injection placed near the belly muscles using ultrasound guidance, to see if it helps reduce long-term pain after abdominal surgery for cancer. It may offer a new way to manage pain without strong painkillers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 tests a new combination of pain blocks for people having laparoscopic (keyhole) colon or rectal surgery. The goal is to see if adding a back muscle block to the standard abdominal wall block provides better pain relief.
This study compares two different injection techniques to reduce pain after appendix removal surgery in children ages 7–12. Both techniques use ultrasound (sound waves) to guide a numbing medication to nerves near the surgical area, and researchers want to see which works better.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after breast cancer surgery. It will help determine which block works better to reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines after a mastectomy.
This study tests how different amounts and locations of numbing medicine (rectus sheath block) affect pain relief and sensation after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. It may help patients have better pain control with fewer side effects.
