New study tests which nerve block eases kidney surgery pain best

NCT ID NCT07642193

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for pain control after open kidney removal surgery. Ninety adults will receive either a rhomboid intercostal sub-serratus plane block or an external oblique intercostal block. Researchers will measure how long it takes before patients first ask for pain relief, along with heart rate and blood pressure changes.

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 (rhomboid intercostal sub-serratus plane block or external oblique intercostal block)

What this could lead to

If one block works better, it could mean less pain and less need for strong painkillers after kidney surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 90 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Nerve blocks carry risks like infection or nerve damage.
