Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests two ways to reverse muscle relaxants after laparoscopic bowel surgery to see which helps the gut recover faster. It may help you if you are having bowel surgery and want to get your digestion working again sooner.

This trial compares two medications given to reverse the effects of muscle relaxants after an outpatient ERCP (a scope procedure). The goal is to see which drug works better and faster, which could help you wake up more comfortably.
This study tests how well a medication can reverse the effects of a muscle relaxant used during anesthesia. The goal is to help your muscles work normally again after surgery so you wake up safely.
This study tests a domestic version of sugammadex sodium (a drug that reverses muscle relaxants) after lung surgery. It aims to see how well it works to help you wake up and recover from anesthesia.
This trial tests how well sugammadex reverses the effects of a drug (pipecuronium) used to relax muscles during surgery. If you are having general surgery or neurosurgery and need a breathing tube, this study may help ensure you wake up with full muscle control.
