New pain block may beat epidural for cancer surgery recovery
NCT ID NCT07273136
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if a nerve block (TAP block) is as good as or better than an epidural for pain after major abdominal cancer surgery. About 50 adults having surgeries like stomach, colon, or liver removal will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. The goal is to see which approach reduces the need for extra morphine and provides safer pain control.
