New study aims to find best pain block for liver cancer surgery recovery
NCT ID NCT07337330
First seen Jan 28, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—external oblique intercostal plane block and erector spinae block—for pain relief after liver surgery in cancer patients. Fifty-two adults will receive one of the two blocks, and researchers will measure pain scores and morphine use over 24 hours. The goal is to identify which block offers better pain control and reduces the need for opioids.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
nerve block (local anesthetic injection)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show which nerve block technique is better for controlling pain after liver surgery, potentially improving recovery and reducing opioid use.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The blocks may not provide sufficient pain relief for everyone.
