Double nerve block may ease pain after keyhole surgery
NCT ID NCT07705516
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two approaches to pain control after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery: a quadratus lumborum block alone versus a quadratus lumborum block combined with a rectus sheath block. Both are ultrasound-guided nerve blocks using local anesthetics. The study includes 50 adults aged 18 to 65 scheduled for elective laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. The main goal is to see if the combined block reduces pain during movement and lowers the need for opioid painkillers after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a combination of two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (rectus sheath block and quadratus lumborum block) using local anesthetics
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combined block could become a standard way to reduce pain and opioid use after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The open-label design means both patients and doctors know which treatment is given, which can bias results.
