NCT ID NCT06764667

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

Summary

This study tested two ways to manage pain in 60 people donating a kidney through keyhole surgery. One group received spinal anesthesia with added morphine, while the other got a nerve block near the lower back. The goal was to see which method reduces the need for opioid painkillers and improves recovery. The trial has already been completed.
