POSTOPERATIVE ANALGESIA

This study tested a specific type of nerve block, called an EXORA block, to see if it could better control pain after surgery to repair an umbilical (belly button) hernia. Fifty adult patients having this surgery were randomly assigned to receive either this new block or standard…

This study compared two different nerve-block techniques for managing pain after open kidney removal surgery. Researchers tested whether a newer method (external oblique intercostal plane block) provides better pain relief than a more established method (transversus abdominis pla…

This study tested whether adding a medication called dexmedetomidine to a standard pain-blocking injection could improve pain relief after a planned cesarean section. It involved 80 women who had C-sections with spinal anesthesia. Researchers compared pain levels, how soon women …

This study tested two different nerve block techniques to reduce pain after coronary artery bypass surgery. Researchers compared ultrasound-guided injections in the chest wall of 60 patients to see which method provided better pain relief. The goal was to help patients recover mo…

This study compared two common methods for managing pain after a planned cesarean section (C-section). It involved 60 women to see which method—a morphine injection in the spine or an ultrasound-guided numbing block in the abdomen—better controlled pain in the first 24 hours afte…

This study compared two different numbing injection techniques to see which one better controls pain after keyhole gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers tested these methods on 60 adult patients to measure pain levels and how much extra pain medicine was needed afterward. The …

This study compared two methods of pain relief for children aged 1-7 having hernia repair surgery. Researchers tested whether a newer ultrasound-guided numbing technique works as well as a standard method for managing pain after surgery. The trial involved 50 children to see whic…

This study compared two safe methods of pain relief for young boys having hypospadias repair surgery. Thirty boys were randomly assigned to receive either a caudal block (lower back injection) or a penile nerve block (groin injection) during surgery. The study found the caudal bl…

This study compared two different nerve-block techniques to see which one better controls pain after open kidney removal surgery in children. Doctors tested an ultrasound-guided TAP block against a newer EOIP block in 40 young patients. The main goal was to see which method provi…
