This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether adding dexamethasone or magnesium sulfate to a numbing medication (bupivacaine) can help control pain better after kidney surgery. You would receive one of these combinations as a nerve block—an injection near your spine that numbs the surgical area. The study wants to see which addition works best to reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after surgery.
After kidney surgery, patients often experience significant pain that requires strong medications like morphine. Researchers want to find out if adding either of these two medications to the numbing injection can reduce pain more effectively, so patients suffer less and need fewer opioids during recovery.
You would be randomly assigned to one of three groups. On surgery day, you would receive a numbing injection near your spine using ultrasound guidance—this is the nerve block. One group receives the standard numbing medication alone, while the other two groups receive it combined with either magnesium sulfate or dexamethasone. After surgery, the research team would track your pain levels and how much pain medication you need during your hospital stay and early recovery.
