NCT ID NCT07672600
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block (erector spinae plane block) can reduce pain and the need for morphine after percutaneous nephrolithotomy, a surgery to remove large kidney stones. Fifty-six adults undergoing elective surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or standard intravenous pain relief. The main goal is to measure total morphine use over 24 hours 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
Erector Spinae Plane Block (nerve block procedure)
What this could lead to
If effective, this nerve block could become a standard way to reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after kidney stone surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply to everyone. The nerve block may not provide significant pain relief and carries rare risks like infection or bleeding.
