Low-dose calming medicine before gallbladder surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a low dose of a calming medicine (called dexmedetomidine) before gallbladder removal surgery reduces pain and helps you recover more smoothly. The medicine is given through an IV before general anesthesia, and the goal is to make your surgery and recovery more comfortable.
