Timing of nerve blocks for weight loss surgery pain
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a nerve block before or after bariatric surgery works better for pain control. It could help you have less pain and use fewer painkillers after your procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a first-time sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass surgery at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have not had a previous weight loss surgery that needs to be redone.

This trial tests if a nerve block can help control pain after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. The goal is to reduce the need for strong pain medicines and improve recovery.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during weight-loss surgery to help reduce pain after the procedure. The goal is to find which method works better for keeping patients comfortable during recovery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy). If you qualify, you will receive one of these nerve blocks before surgery to help manage your recovery pain.
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 nerve block (an injection near the nerves) to see if it helps reduce pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The block is called a modified thoracoabdominal nerve plane block, and it may lead to better pain control and recovery.
This trial compares three different pain relief methods during weight-loss surgery: a nerve block, a lidocaine drip, and a targeted injection near the celiac plexus. The goal is to find which approach works best with fewer side effects.
