Lower gas pressure during surgery for shoulder pain reduction
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two different gas pressures used during laparoscopic surgery to see if lower pressure reduces shoulder pain afterward. It may help if you're having surgery to remove an ovary, fallopian tube, or ovarian cyst.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form for the study.
- You are scheduled for a surgery to remove one or both fallopian tubes and ovaries, or an ovarian cyst (salpingo-oophorectomy, salpingectomy, or ovarian cystectomy).
- You have not had a previous surgery that cut your abdomen open from the belly button down (midline laparotomy).
- You do not have chronic pain, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, or advanced gynecological cancer (beyond stage 1).
- Your BMI is under 50, and you can communicate in a language the study team speaks.

This trial compares using lower gas pressure during minimally invasive gynecologic surgery to the standard pressure. The goal is to see if lower pressure reduces pain and speeds recovery after surgery.
This study compares using lower or higher gas pressure during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery in children. The goal is to see if lower pressure is just as safe and might cause less pain or fewer side effects.
This trial compares two different air pressures used during laparoscopic appendix surgery to see if one leads to better outcomes. If you're having this surgery, the pressure level could affect your recovery, and this study aims to find which is safer and more effective.
This study tests whether a special breathing technique combined with actively removing gas from your belly after surgery can reduce shoulder pain that sometimes happens after keyhole gynecologic surgery. If you're having this type of surgery, you might experience less discomfort after.
This study compares using lower gas pressure during sleeve gastrectomy surgery to see if it reduces pain or improves recovery, while still being safe. You would receive the standard surgery but with a different pressure setting in your abdomen during the operation.
This trial compares two different gas pressures used during keyhole liver surgery. The goal is to see if a lower pressure reduces bleeding or other complications while still allowing the surgeon to operate safely.
