Summary

This study tests whether an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol can reduce the need for strong painkillers after a kidney transplant from a living donor. Sixty adult participants will receive a carbohydrate drink, Tylenol, gabapentin, a local numbing injection, and early walking. Researchers will compare their pain scores and narcotic use to past patients who did not follow this protocol.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
carbohydrate drink, acetaminophen, gabapentin, bupivacaine, and early ambulation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a standard way to manage pain after kidney transplant with fewer narcotics.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The protocol involves multiple steps, and some may not tolerate them.
