Esmolol for pain control during laparoscopic surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a drug called esmolol to see if it helps control pain during and after laparoscopic surgeries that involve a small cut below the belly button. It may help people having a hysterectomy or left colon removal feel less pain during anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old and classified as healthy or with mild to moderate health problems (ASA 1-3).

- You do not have certain heart conditions, low blood pressure, asthma, COPD, kidney problems, or a known allergy to esmolol or other beta-blockers.
- You are not currently taking opioid pain relievers or beta-blocker medications, and do not have severe memory problems.

One medicine (esmolol) controls heart rate, while the other (sufentanil) is a strong painkiller. The goal is to find out which approach leads to a smoother recovery after your surgery.
This trial tests a new way to monitor pain during laparoscopic surgery. It may help your doctor adjust pain medicines to keep you comfortable.
This trial tests whether injecting a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) and a steroid around the surgical area before surgery reduces pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover more comfortably with potentially less pain medication needed.
This trial tests two different pain relief methods after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery to see which works better and causes fewer side effects.
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 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.
