Numbing shot comparison for pain control in laparoscopic colon surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (a longer-acting option versus standard numbing) placed near nerves to help control pain during laparoscopic colon surgery. It looks to see which method works better and is safe for patients having planned surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for planned (not emergency) laparoscopic colon surgery (colectomy).
- You speak English and can understand and consent to the study.
- Your overall health status is in the range ASA I to IV.
- You can safely receive two specific nerve-block type injections near the belly (TAP and RS blocks) based on your anatomy and exam.
- You do not have an allergy to local anesthetic (numbing medicine used for injections).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you agree to avoid pregnancy during the study and for 1 month after surgery.

This study compares two numbing options for pain control after open belly (mid-abdominal) vascular surgery: a longer-lasting numbing drug in the belly muscle layer versus a different numbing drug and catheter. It aims to see which approach better reduces postoperative pain and opioid use, and may help improve recovery.
This study tests two different numbing injections (nerve blocks) for pain control after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (weight loss surgery). Researchers want to see which method is easier and works better for reducing pain.
This study tests a new combination of pain blocks for people having laparoscopic (keyhole) colon or rectal surgery. The goal is to see if adding a back muscle block to the standard abdominal wall block provides better pain relief.
This trial is testing if a special numbing medicine called liposomal bupivacaine, given as a nerve block during surgery, can help reduce pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. It might help you feel better with less need for strong painkillers.
This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine at the surgery site reduces pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. It may help patients have less pain and recover more comfortably.
This trial tests a long-acting painkiller injected during surgery to see if it reduces pain after keyhole (laparoscopic) procedures like gallbladder removal, hernia repair, or appendix removal. It may help you need fewer opioids and recover more comfortably.
