Comparing a numbing gel with standard pain block after stomach cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 years or older with stomach cancer that was completely removed by surgery.
- Your surgery was laparoscopic or robotic (minimally invasive, not open surgery).
- You did not have chemotherapy or radiation before the surgery.
- You do not have other cancers, uncontrolled diabetes, or conditions that cause poor wound healing.
- You are not allergic to numbing medicines like ropivacaine or lidocaine.

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.
This study compares two ways to control pain after laparoscopic stomach removal surgery: applying a special temperature-sensitive gel mixed with a numbing medicine to the surgical area, versus a standard ultrasound-guided nerve block (injection of numbing medicine near the abdominal nerves). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief after surgery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one reduces pain better after laparoscopic stomach cancer surgery. If you qualify, you'll help doctors find the best way to manage pain with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before laparoscopic gynecologic surgery to see which provides better pain relief after the operation. It aims to help patients have less pain and a smoother recovery.
This trial studies whether an abdominal wall nerve block improves pain control and recovery in adults 65 and older having minimally invasive surgery for gastrointestinal tumors. It may reduce the need for strong painkillers and improve recovery.
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.
