POSTOPERATIVE PAIN

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (serratus plane block and rhomboid intercostal plane block) to see which provides better pain relief after breast reduction surgery. Ninety women undergoing the surgery will receive one of the two blocks before anesthesia. The main go…

This study tests if a nerve block (SIPB) provides better pain relief than the usual port infiltration for people having their gallbladder removed by keyhole surgery. 128 adults will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. The goal is to see which approach leads to less pa…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (S-TAP vs. Rectus Sheath Block) to see which one better controls pain after a large abdominal surgery. Sixty adults having surgery through a midline belly cut will be enrolled. Researchers will measure pain scores and how much extra p…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (QLB and RLB) for pain relief after lumbar disc surgery. About 84 adults will receive one of the blocks, and researchers will measure pain scores, opioid use, and satisfaction. The goal is to find which block works better for managing…

This study tests whether a special nerve block (erector spinae plane block) can lower the amount of strong painkillers (opioids) needed after open abdominal surgery. About 46 adults having surgery under general anesthesia will take part. The goal is to see if the block helps cont…

This study looks at whether a numbing injection guided by ultrasound can reduce pain after neck surgery. About 60 adults having planned neck surgery will get either the nerve block plus standard care or standard care alone. The goal is to see if the block lowers pain scores and t…

This study looks at whether giving certain pain-relieving medications before and during nose surgery can lower the number of strong opioid pain pills patients need afterward. About 50 adults having nose surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the extra medications or …

This study tested whether a single dose of a long-acting steroid given before wisdom tooth removal can lessen pain, facial swelling, and trouble opening the mouth after surgery. Sixty adults aged 18 to 35 took part. The goal was to see if this simple addition to standard care imp…

This study looks at whether a specific nerve block (serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) can lower pain and the need for painkillers after cervical disc herniation surgery. About 40 adults having this neck surgery will be split into groups to compare the new block…

This study tests whether giving no opioid painkillers after routine inguinal hernia repair works as well as giving a small number of opioid pills. About 900 adults having outpatient hernia surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either no opioids or up to 5 oxycodone tablets…

This study compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (TAP and QLB) for pain after open inguinal hernia repair. 70 adults aged 18-65 will receive one block before surgery under spinal anesthesia. The goal is to see which block reduces opioid use and pain scores over 24 hours. Bo…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to reduce pain during spinal anesthesia and after surgery for hip fractures. Researchers will enroll 64 adults aged 30-85 undergoing elective surgery. The goal is to find which block provides better pain relief and improves the patien…

This study tracks 300 adults who receive standard light therapy after elective plastic surgery. Researchers will measure pain, swelling, bruising, and patient satisfaction over time. The goal is to describe recovery patterns, not to test a new treatment.
