Simethicone in bariatric surgery recovery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving simethicone (a gas-relief medication) as part of a standard recovery plan helps patients feel better after weight-loss surgery. It may reduce bloating and discomfort after surgery.

This Phase 3 study tests whether adding metformin after gastric bypass or sleeve surgery can help you stay free of diabetes for longer. It compares metformin plus standard care versus standard care alone.
This study asks adults to complete patient-reported surveys after elective bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It may help doctors better understand how patients experience recovery and outcomes.
This trial compares a “mini” gastric bypass procedure to help with weight loss in adults who qualify for bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It’s testing whether the approach works well and is safe for people who meet the study requirements.
This trial compares two medications, cyclizine and metoclopramide, given before bariatric surgery to see which one better reduces the amount of fluid left in the stomach (gastric residual volume). This matters because a full stomach during surgery can increase the risk of complications. If you qualify, you'll receive one of these medications randomly, and the results may help improve safety for future patients.
This study tests whether suzetrigine, a new pain medication, can reduce the need for opioids (strong painkillers) after cardiac or bariatric surgery. The goal is to help patients manage pain with fewer opioid-related side effects.
This trial tests a method to control inflammation during bariatric surgery. It may help patients recover better and have fewer complications.
