New pain block could cut opioid use in kidney stone surgery
NCT ID NCT07457983
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an erector spinae plane block, a type of nerve block, can reduce pain and the need for opioid painkillers after percutaneous nephrolithotomy, a surgery to remove large kidney stones. Sixty adults scheduled for this surgery will receive either the block plus standard anesthesia or standard anesthesia alone. Researchers will measure pain scores and total opioid use in the first 24 hours after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
erector spinae plane block with bupivacaine
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a safer way to manage pain after kidney stone surgery, reducing the need for opioids.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants. The block may not provide significant pain relief, and results may not apply to all patients.
