New nerve block may cut opioid use after cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT07331129
First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 35 times
Summary
This study tests whether a nerve block called the transversalis fascia plane block can reduce pain after inguinal lymph node removal in cancer patients. The goal is to lower the need for strong painkillers like opioids, which can cause nausea, dizziness, and breathing problems. 90 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block plus local anesthetic or just local anesthetic alone. Pain scores and opioid use will be tracked for 24 hours after surgery.

What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study (90 people) testing a nerve block that may not work for everyone or could cause rare complications like infection or bleeding.
