Deep vs. moderate muscle relaxation for weight loss surgery
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two levels of muscle relaxation during laparoscopic bariatric surgery. It aims to find which level provides the best surgical conditions and may help patients recover more smoothly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and have a body mass index that qualifies for weight loss (bariatric) surgery.
- You are classified as ASA II or III, meaning you have mild to serious health problems that are controlled.
- You are scheduled to have laparoscopic (keyhole) weight loss surgery under general anesthesia.
- You do not have a nerve or muscle disease.
- You are not pregnant.

This trial tests whether using a deeper level of muscle relaxation during laparoscopic hysterectomy helps patients recover better after surgery. It aims to find out if this approach can reduce pain and speed up return to normal activities.
This study compares two different monitors that measure how deeply your muscles are relaxed during long surgeries (over 3 hours) like laparoscopic, robotic, or chest surgeries. The monitors help the anesthesia team keep you safe and comfortable.
This study looks at whether the amount of abdominal muscle seen on a CT scan affects how muscle relaxants work during colon surgery. It may help doctors find the right dose of muscle relaxant for you.
