Quadroiliac Plane Block for Pain Relief After Kidney Transplant

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind study in adults undergoing renal transplantation. Participants are assigned to receive either a unilateral quadroiliac plane block with 40 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine or surgical wound infiltration with 10 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine. The procedure is performed under anesthesia and outcomes are assessed postoperatively by investigators blinded to group assignment. The aim is to determine if the nerve block provides superior analgesia and reduces opioid requirements. Treatment allocation is concealed and handled by study personnel not involved in outcome assessment.
