Low-sugar diet aims to reduce belly-surgery pain
Part of Immune system & allergy, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special diet low in polyamines (a food-related substance) can reduce pain after major abdominal surgery. It compares pain control while you use a patient-controlled morphine pump or take opioid tablets by mouth after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a combination of two pain-management approaches—a long-acting numbing medicine injected near nerves and a self-administered opioid—to see if they help your gut function better and control pain after bowel or colon surgery.
This trial tests if taking omega-3 supplements along with morphine can help control pain better after gallbladder surgery. It might reduce how much morphine you need and its side effects.
This trial tests if giving two pain medicines before surgery can stop short-term pain from becoming chronic. It may help people having major abdominal surgery with a breathing tube.
This study tests whether surgical teams can safely prescribe fewer opioid pain medications (like oxycodone or hydrocodone) after common surgeries. Researchers will look at insurance records to see if patients still recover well when they receive lower opioid doses.
This study tests whether adding two medicines (lidocaine and dexmedetomidine) to your anesthesia during weight-loss surgery can reduce pain, swelling, and stress on the body. It might help you have a smoother recovery.
This trial compares two anesthesia approaches for emergency abdominal surgery to see which one helps you recover better. One approach uses fewer opioid painkillers (like morphine), which may reduce side effects and speed recovery.
