Pain relief study for obese patients having weight loss surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of a drug called oxalidine with lower doses of standard painkillers during weight loss surgery. The goal is to see if this approach provides better pain control after surgery with fewer side effects.

This trial tests a new painkiller called oliceridine for moderate to severe pain after orthopedic surgery. It may help you recover more comfortably with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for weight-loss surgery: one that uses standard painkillers (opioids) and one that avoids these drugs. The goal is to see which approach works better for recovery and pain control.
This study compares two ways of providing anesthesia during weight-loss surgery: one that uses opioid painkillers and one that does not. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids leads to better recovery and fewer complications after surgery.
This study tests whether adding two medicines (lidocaine and dexmedetomidine) to your anesthesia during weight-loss surgery can reduce pain, swelling, and stress on the body. It might help you have a smoother recovery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during and after your weight-loss surgery: one uses a nerve block (thoracic paravertebral block) to numb the area without opioid painkillers, and the other uses standard anesthesia. The goal is to see if the nerve block method reduces pain and improves recovery without the side effects of opioids.
This study tests whether giving two pain medicines (oxycodone and parecoxib) before and during surgery can reduce the chance of long-term pain after major abdominal surgery. It aims to help patients recover with less pain that may persist for months.
