Low pressure gas for less shoulder pain after hernia surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for a robot-assisted hiatal hernia repair (not an emergency)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or less
- You do not have a history of chronic pain or opioid dependence
- You do not have COPD or use oxygen therapy
- You are not pregnant, incarcerated, or unable to consent

This study compares two pressure settings used during keyhole (laparoscopic) abdominal surgery in children. The goal is to see which pressure approach works better and is safer for kids during surgery that creates an air-filled space in the belly.
This study tests whether a special head-down positioning during breathing exercises after minimally invasive gynecologic surgery can reduce shoulder pain—a common side effect. You'll be randomly assigned to receive this positioning or standard care and will be contacted to report your pain recovery.
This study compares two different gas pressure levels used during robotic surgery to see if one is better for patients. If you are having robotic surgery, it may help doctors improve safety and recovery.
This trial compares two different air pressure levels used during laparoscopic gallbladder removal to see which one causes less pain after surgery, including shoulder pain and bile duct injuries.
This trial compares two ways to remove leftover gas from the belly after keyhole gallbladder surgery. One method uses active suction and the other uses simple pressure. The goal is to see which reduces pain better.
This study tests whether acupressure can reduce pain after laparoscopic hernia repair surgery. If you are having this type of surgery, acupressure might help you manage pain without extra medication.
