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).

This trial compares two different gas pressure levels used during laparoscopic hysterectomy (a minimally invasive surgery to remove the uterus) to see which one causes less pain after the procedure. It may help you and your doctor choose the best pressure for your surgery.
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 trial tests a lung technique during gynecologic laparoscopy to see if it can ease shoulder pain after surgery. If you are having this type of surgery, this approach may help reduce discomfort.
This trial tests a method to drain gas from the abdomen after gynecologic laparoscopic surgery to reduce shoulder pain. If you are a woman having this type of surgery for more than 20 minutes, this may help you feel better afterward.
This trial tests whether using a low-pressure gas system (AirSeal) during robot-assisted hiatal hernia repair can reduce shoulder pain after surgery. If you are scheduled for this type of hernia repair, you may be eligible to join.
