REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA

This study looks at whether combining two types of nerve blocks can help people who have heart surgery use fewer strong painkillers (opioids) and recover better. About 90 adults having planned heart surgery will receive one of two nerve block combinations. Researchers will measur…

This study compares three types of nerve blocks (paravertebral, intertransverse, and erector spinae plane) given before video-assisted lung surgery. Researchers will measure how much opioid painkiller patients need afterward and their pain scores. The goal is to find which block …

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to manage pain and reduce opioid use in 70 adults having breast-conserving surgery. Participants will receive one of two ultrasound-guided injections before surgery. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and lowe…

This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block, given before lumbar spine surgery, can reduce pain and the need for opioid painkillers afterward. Fifty adults scheduled for back surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block plus standard pain mana…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (ESP block and TAP block) to see which one works better for pain relief after open appendix surgery. About 68 adults having this surgery will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocks. The main goal is to see which block r…

This study tests whether a numbing injection (maxillary nerve block) given before nose surgery can reduce the need for strong painkillers during the operation. 90 adults having septorhinoplasty will be split into two groups: one gets the nerve block plus general anesthesia, the o…

This study compares four types of nerve blocks used during arthroscopic shoulder surgery to see which one causes the least temporary diaphragm paralysis and leads to better recovery. Researchers will measure breathing function, pain levels, opioid use, and overall recovery qualit…

This study is tracking how often complications occur when children receive nerve blocks for pain relief in the pediatric emergency department. Researchers will review records of about 400 children who had the procedure between 2023 and 2025. The goal is to build a safety database…

This study looks at oxygen levels in adults over 65 after hip fracture surgery, comparing regional (spinal) anesthesia to general anesthesia. Researchers will measure oxygen saturation and track complications like sleep apnea, delirium, and hospital stay length. The study is obse…
