Official title
Randomized Controlled Trial of Repeat vs. Single Quadratus Lumborum Block to Reduce Opioid Prescriptions After Open Pancreatectomy ("RESQU-BLOCK" Trial)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This phase II trial studies how an additional anesthetic nerve block, called a quadratus lumborum block, works to reduce the need for opioids in patients after pancreatic surgery. Giving an additional regional anesthetic after surgery may hasten the weaning process, reduce the need for opioid medications upon discharge, and reduce the risk of opioid dependence.
