ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different methods of pain management for patients undergoing laparoscopic kidney transplant donation. The researchers want to see if using spinal anesthesia with an additional medication or a specific nerve block (called the quadratus lumborum block) will reduce the need for opioids and lower pain levels during and after surgery. This is important because effective pain management can help patients recover more comfortably.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 65 years old, have a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or less, and be in generally good health (specifically, you should be classified as ASA physical status 1 or 2, which means you are healthy or have mild health issues). If you join, you can expect to receive one of the two pain management techniques during your surgery. However, people with certain health conditions, such as serious heart problems or infections near the spine, cannot participate. This trial is currently recruiting participants, so if you or someone you know meets the eligibility criteria, it could be a good opportunity to contribute to important research in pain management.
