NCT ID NCT06409156
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain after open upper abdominal surgery. One is a newer technique (EOIFP block) and the other is a standard one (OSTAP block). The goal is to see how easy it is for doctors to learn the new block. 100 adults having surgery at Cleveland Clinic will take part.
