Pain control gel after stomach cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a gel (ropivacaine in a special polymer) applied during stomach cancer surgery to reduce pain after the operation. The goal is to help patients recover with less pain and fewer side effects from painkillers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of stomach cancer (gastric adenocarcinoma) before surgery.

- You must be in good enough health for surgery (ASA score 3 or below – this means no severe illness).
- You must be at least 20 years old.
- You cannot have had chemotherapy or radiation for this cancer before surgery.
- You cannot have other cancers, uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune diseases, or a history of thick scars (keloids).

This study tests a gel made of ropivacaine (a numbing medicine) in a special hydrogel to see if it works as well as the standard pain block injection (TAP block) for controlling pain after minimally invasive stomach cancer surgery. The gel is applied directly near the surgical wound.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after keyhole stomach removal surgery: either injecting a special gel mixed with numbing medicine during surgery or using an ultrasound-guided numbing injection. The goal is to see which option works better for you after the operation.

This trial tests a combination of two pain-management approaches—a long-acting numbing medicine injected near nerves and a self-administered opioid—to see if they help your gut function better and control pain after bowel or colon surgery.
This study compares different methods of managing pain after minimally invasive surgery for abdominal cancers. It aims to find which approach works best to reduce pain and improve recovery.
This trial tests if placing small tubes near your surgical wound can provide better pain control after a midline abdominal incision. It may help you recover more comfortably.
