This study tested whether a special nerve block called the erector spinae plane (ESP) block can provide better pain relief after flexible ureterorenoscopy (URS) surgery for kidney stones. 70 adults were randomly assigned to receive either the ESP block plus standard pain manageme…

This study tested whether a nerve block called the erector spinae plane block can reduce pain and the need for painkillers after robotic-assisted partial kidney surgery. 46 adults aged 18 to 70 were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or standard care. The goal wa…

This study tested three different nerve blocks to control pain after a type of chest surgery called thoracoscopic sympathectomy. Sixty adults were randomly assigned to receive one of the blocks. The main goal was to see which block delayed the need for morphine the longest. The r…

This study looked at whether the type of pain relief given after a planned C-section affects how soon and how exclusively mothers can breastfeed. Researchers compared a common pain-blocking method (TAP block) with other options in 75 women. The goal was to see if better pain cont…

This study tested two types of nerve blocks to control pain after breast surgery. One hundred adults received either a serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block or a pectoral nerve (PECS II) block. The goal was to see which block lowers the need for morphine and helps p…

This study tested whether a numbing injection near the hip (femoral nerve block) works better than intravenous fentanyl for pain relief in adults with a broken hip. 104 patients in the emergency department were randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The goal was to see w…
