Painkiller-sparing vs. standard anesthesia for emergency belly surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two anesthesia approaches for emergency abdominal surgery to see which one helps you recover better. One approach uses fewer opioid painkillers (like morphine), which may reduce side effects and speed recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a type of anesthesia that uses fewer strong painkillers (opioids) to see if it helps patients recover better after emergency abdominal surgery. It may reduce side effects like nausea and drowsiness.
This trial compares two medications added to a numbing injection around your abdominal muscles during belly surgery to help manage pain after surgery. The study aims to find which combination works better and lasts longer.
This trial compares two drugs, ketamine and fentanyl, added to the standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) to see which works better for pain control during laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Both are injected into the belly area during surgery.
This study compares two fast-acting pain medicines given during surgery to see which one provides better anesthesia and recovery. It may help if you are having a non-emergency surgery that is expected to last 1 to 4 hours and you are generally healthy.
This study compares two pain medications, fentanyl and remifentanil, used during laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The goal is to see which one helps you recover bowel function faster and control pain better after surgery.
This study compares two types of general anesthesia for laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery: one that uses opioids (strong painkillers) and one that avoids them. The goal is to see which approach leads to a better recovery experience after surgery.
