Pain relief after gallbladder surgery: dexmedetomidine vs fentanyl
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests whether adding fentanyl or nalbuphine to a common numbing medicine (bupivacaine) during gallbladder removal surgery can improve pain relief afterward. It is for generally healthy adults who are not pregnant and have no serious gallbladder problems or drug allergies.
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 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 study tests a nerve block for pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It compares different volumes of numbing medicine to find the best dose.
This study compares two medications, dexmedetomidine and lignocaine, to see which works better for pain management during and after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help improve comfort and recovery for people having this surgery.
