Esmolol vs. sufentanil for recovery after gallbladder surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests two different medicines given during gallbladder surgery to see which one helps you recover better. One medicine (esmolol) controls heart rate, while the other (sufentanil) is a strong painkiller. The goal is to find out which approach leads to a smoother recovery after your surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a way to lower the body's stress reaction during a routine gallbladder removal surgery. It may help patients have a smoother recovery.
This trial tests whether a low dose of a sedative medicine (dexmedetomidine) given before surgery can help patients undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It aims to improve comfort and safety during general anesthesia.
This trial finds the right dose of a pain medication (sufentanil) for adults having planned gallbladder removal surgery. You take part by getting the drug during surgery so doctors can find the safest and most effective amount.
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 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 trial tests a drug called esmolol to see if it helps control pain during and after laparoscopic surgeries that involve a small cut below the belly button. It may help people having a hysterectomy or left colon removal feel less pain during anesthesia.
