Pain relief methods for laparoscopic bariatric surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares three different pain relief methods during weight-loss surgery: a nerve block, a lidocaine drip, and a targeted injection near the celiac plexus. The goal is to find which approach works best with fewer side effects.

This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for controlling pain after weight-loss surgery. If you qualify, you would receive one of these injections before surgery to help reduce pain and make recovery more comfortable.

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to manage pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic bariatric surgery: one method involves numbing medicine placed near the surgery site, and the other uses an ultrasound-guided injection near the back. It aims to find which option works better for recovery in people with moderate to severe obesity.
This trial compares two types of pain-blocking injections given during laparoscopic weight-loss surgery to see which provides better pain relief after the operation. If you are having this type of surgery, this could help you recover with less pain.
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.
