Comparing Stress and Antioxidant Levels in Two Types of Anesthesia for Tubal Ligation
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares stress hormones and body chemicals in women who get either spinal anesthesia (numbing the lower body) or general anesthesia (fully asleep) during a laparoscopic tubal ligation. The goal is to see which method causes less stress on the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 45 years old.
- You are scheduled for a laparoscopic tubal ligation (a surgery to block the fallopian tubes through small belly incisions).
- You are classified as ASA I or II (meaning you are generally healthy or have a well-controlled condition like mild asthma or high blood pressure).
- You do not have a diagnosed psychiatric illness.
- You did not have complications during your laparoscopy (like bleeding or organ injury).
- Your spinal anesthesia did not need to be changed to general anesthesia during the procedure.

This trial compares two types of anesthesia to see which helps patients recover better after gynecologic surgery. You will be randomly assigned to receive either a combination of IV and inhaled anesthesia or inhaled anesthesia alone, and you'll fill out a short questionnaire about your recovery.
This study compares general anesthesia alone to two types of combined anesthesia (general plus spinal) to see which reduces the amount of opioid painkillers needed during and after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. It may help patients recover with less reliance on strong pain medications.
This study compares two anesthesia methods—inhaled gas (desflurane) versus IV medication (TIVA)—during weight-loss surgery to see how each affects your body's stress response and recovery. The goal is to understand which approach may be safer and more comfortable for patients having bariatric surgery.
This trial compares two types of anesthetic gases, isoflurane and sevoflurane, to see which one causes less oxidative stress (a type of cell damage) during gallbladder removal surgery. It may help surgeons choose the safer option for patients.
This trial studies whether an L-tyrosine supplement before surgery can reduce stress or anxiety around the time of anesthesia and recovery. It is for adults having outpatient surgery for an inguinal hernia under general anesthesia.
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.
