-
Gastrocnemius plane block for foot and ankle surgery
This study tests whether a gastrocnemius plane block can reduce pain after foot and ankle surgery and lessen the use of opioid pain medicines in adults.
-
Quadroiliac Plane Block vs Transmuscular Quadratus Lumborum Block for Hip Replacement Pain
This study tests whether the Quadroiliac Plane Block provides better postoperative pain relief and lower opioid use than the transmuscular quadratus lumborum block after total hip arthroplasty conducted under spinal anesthesia.
-
Deep iliacus plane block vs transmuscular quadratus lumborum block for hip surgery pain relief
This study tests whether the deep iliacus plane block provides better pain relief and recovery than the transmuscular quadratus lumborum block after total hip replacement.
-
PIFPB-based blocks to aid pain relief after cardiac surgery
This observational study tests whether combining a pectoral-intercostal fascial plane block with either a recto-intercostal fascial plane block or a rectus sheath block can improve postoperative pain control for adults undergoing elective cardiac surgery.
-
Bilateral ESPB versus OSTAPB for postoperative pain after colorectal surgery
This study tests whether, after open colorectal surgery, an ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane block works better or the bilateral OSTAP block works better for controlling pain.
-
Comparing three ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to reduce pain after video-assisted thoracic surgery
This trial will try three ultrasound-guided regional blocks — paravertebral, intertransverse process, and erector spinae plane — to see which best lowers opioid use and pain after elective VATS in adults.
-
Dexmedetomidine or Clonidine added to spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery
This study tests whether adding dexmedetomidine or clonidine to spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery improves intraoperative comfort and analgesia.
-
PENG versus Deep Iliacus Plane block for pain relief in intertrochanteric femur fractures
This study will see if PENG or Deep Iliacus Plane nerve blocks give better pain relief and make positioning for spinal anesthesia easier for adults having surgery for intertrochanteric hip fractures.
-
Oliceridine vs Sufentanil for postoperative nausea after CPA surgery
This trial tests whether using oliceridine for patient-controlled IV pain relief reduces nausea after cerebellopontine angle surgery compared with sufentanil.
-
Serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block for pain control after off-pump minimally invasive CABG
This trial will test whether an ultrasound-guided serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block with bupivacaine reduces postoperative pain in adults having elective off-pump minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting.
-
Erector spinae versus lateral transversus abdominis plane block for pain after open appendectomy
This study will test whether an erector spinae plane block or a lateral TAP block gives better pain relief for adults having open appendectomy.
-
Anrikefon Injection for Postoperative Pain After Laparoscopic Gastrectomy in Gastric Cancer
This trial tests whether Anrikefon given by IV can reduce pain after totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
-
Abdominal nerve block versus thoracic epidural for pain after major abdominal cancer surgery
This will test whether combined subcostal and lateral transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks provide pain relief comparable to thoracic epidural anesthesia for adults having major abdominal cancer surgery.
-
Erector spinae plane block for pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery
This will test whether giving an erector spinae plane block reduces pain and 24-hour opioid use for adults having laparoscopic abdominal surgery.
-
IV pain medicine, thoracic epidural, and erector spinae plane block for long-term pain after open-heart surgery
This study will compare three common pain-control approaches—IV pain medicines, thoracic epidural, and erector spinae plane block—to see if one lowers chronic pain three months after open-heart surgery.
-
HRS-2129 for managing pain after abdominal surgery
This trial will test whether HRS-2129 tablets provide better pain relief than tramadol for adults after abdominal surgery.
-
Dexamethasone versus magnesium added to bupivacaine for erector spinae plane block after elective cesarean
This study will test whether adding dexamethasone or magnesium sulfate to bupivacaine in an erector spinae plane block gives better pain relief after elective cesarean under spinal anesthesia.
-
Lidocaine plus dexmedetomidine during laparoscopic bariatric surgery to reduce pain, inflammation, and oxidative stress
This trial will try giving an intravenous combination of lidocaine and dexmedetomidine during laparoscopic bariatric surgery in adults with obesity to see if it lowers pain, inflammation, and oxidative stress after surgery.
-
Combining Ketamine and Magnesium for Pain Relief After Nose Surgery
This study is testing whether combining ketamine and magnesium during nose surgery can help reduce pain and lower the need for opioids afterward.
-
Comparing two nerve block techniques for pain relief after hip surgery
This study is testing which of two nerve block techniques helps people recover with less pain and fewer opioids after hip surgery.
-
Using Methylene Blue to Improve Recovery After Hemorrhoid Surgery
This study tests if using Methylene Blue can help people recover better after hemorrhoid surgery by looking at their pain levels and overall well-being.
-
Using Oliceridine for Pain Relief After Surgery
This study is testing different doses of a new pain medication called oliceridine to see how well it helps people manage pain after upper abdominal surgery compared to morphine.
-
Liposomal versus standard bupivacaine for thoracic paravertebral block after thoracoscopic lobectomy
This test checks whether adding long-acting liposomal bupivacaine to standard bupivacaine for thoracic paravertebral nerve blocks reduces pain after thoracoscopic lobectomy in adults.
-
Esketamine dose levels combined with dexmedetomidine to reduce pain after scoliosis correction
This study will test whether different doses of esketamine given with dexmedetomidine and opioids can reduce immediate postoperative pain and lower the chance of chronic postsurgical pain in adults having scoliosis correction.
