Pregabalin during weight-loss surgery to reduce pain
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether pregabalin can help with pain control for people having laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery). It may help reduce the discomfort around surgery and improve the overall recovery experience.

This trial compares two different numbing techniques (nerve blocks) to help manage pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, a weight loss surgery. The goal is to find which method works better for pain control after the procedure.
This trial compares two different numbing injection techniques to help control pain after laparoscopic weight-loss surgery. The goal is to find which method works better and causes fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways to block pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery). Researchers test different nerve-blocking injections to see which one works better for pain control after the procedure.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) without using opioid drugs. One method uses a nerve block (paravertebral block) and the other uses a combination of non-opioid medications. The goal is to see which approach reduces pain and side effects better.
This study tests a special numbing injection (called a paragastric block) to see if it reduces pain and nausea after sleeve gastrectomy surgery. If you are having this weight-loss surgery, the injection might help you feel better and recover more comfortably.
This trial studies whether an opioid-free or opioid-sparing care pathway can improve comfort and outcomes for adults undergoing laparoscopic weight-loss surgery. It may help people avoid side effects from opioid pain medicines while still managing pain safely.
