Which pain block works best for abdominal surgery recovery?
NCT ID NCT07233603
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks—subcostal TAP block and rectus sheath block—to see which one better controls pain after a large abdominal incision (laparotomy). Sixty adult patients will receive one of the two blocks during surgery, and their pain scores and need for extra pain medicine will be tracked. The goal is to find a more effective way to ease recovery.
