Testing a sedative to reduce anesthesia needs during gallbladder surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a sedative called dexmedetomidine can lower the amount of anesthetic (sevoflurane) needed to block body responses during keyhole gallbladder surgery. If it works, it may make anesthesia safer for patients.

This trial tests if adding dexmedetomidine or magnesium to a standard numbing medication (bupivacaine) injected into the belly during gallbladder surgery can improve pain control and recovery. It aims to find a better way to manage pain after surgery.
This trial compares two pain medicines added to a standard numbing shot (bupivacaine) for gallbladder surgery done through small incisions (laparoscopic cholecystectomy). The goal is to see which medicine provides better pain control after surgery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during laparoscopic gallbladder removal: one using opioids and one without. The goal is to see if pain control can be as effective without opioids, which may have fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether a low dose of a sedative medicine (dexmedetomidine) given before surgery can help patients undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It aims to improve comfort and safety during general anesthesia.
This study tests a way to lower the body's stress reaction during a routine gallbladder removal surgery. It may help patients have a smoother recovery.
This trial tests if adding ketamine or dexmedetomidine during anesthesia can prevent increased pain after surgery. It may help people having laparoscopic gallbladder removal feel better after the procedure.
