Testing an adjustable headrest for painless abortion in overweight patients
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special adjustable headrest can help make painless abortion surgery safer and more comfortable for people who are overweight or obese. You may be able to join if you are planning this procedure, have a BMI over 24, and are otherwise healthy enough for anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning to have a painless surgical abortion (a procedure to remove pregnancy tissue under anesthesia).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is over 24, which means you are overweight or obese.
- You are generally healthy enough for anesthesia (rated as ASA I or II by your doctor).
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form.
- You do not have lung problems, breathing issues, airway blockages, neck problems, or a mental health condition that would prevent participation.

This study looks at how anesthesia medicines work in the body during surgery for people who are overweight or obese. It aims to improve safety and comfort during anesthesia, which may lead to better outcomes and fewer complications.
This study compares two ways of positioning your head and neck when placing a breathing tube for surgery. It tests whether using a custom pillow in a 'ramp' position works better than the standard 'sniffing' position. The goal is to make intubation safer and easier for patients with a certain body type.

This study tests a type of anesthesia that avoids opioids (strong painkillers) using a numbing injection in the belly area and a sedative medicine. The goal is to see if this approach controls pain better and reduces side effects for women with higher body weight during gynecological surgery.
This study tests different ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) during laparoscopic surgery in people with obesity. The goal is to find a safer and more effective ventilation method for this group.
