U.S., Jan. 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07351994) titled 'Autonomic Neural Field Block for Visceral Pain in Minimally Invasive Left-Sided Colectomy' on Jan. 10.
Brief Summary: Effective postoperative pain control is a core component of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways in colorectal surgery; however, postoperative pain following minimally invasive left-sided colectomy remains a persistent clinical challenge. Standard multimodal analgesic strategies primarily target somatic pain pathways and may inadequately address visceral postoperative pain, which is mediated through autonomic afferent neural pathways. Residual visceral pain is associated with increased opioid consumption, ...
