Dual-chamber pain pump for recovery after weight-loss surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a dual-chamber patient-controlled pain pump after weight-loss surgery. It may help women have better pain relief and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 19 to 65.
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery).
- You want to use a patient-controlled pain pump (IV-PCA) after surgery.
- You do not have allergies to the study pain medicines (ketorolac or fentanyl).
- You do not have long-term opioid use, liver disease, kidney failure, asthma, or other serious health issues listed.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) without using opioid drugs. One method uses a nerve block (paravertebral block) and the other uses a combination of non-opioid medications. The goal is to see which approach reduces pain and side effects better.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during weight-loss surgery to help reduce pain after the procedure. The goal is to find which method works better for keeping patients comfortable during recovery.
This trial compares two different numbing injection techniques to help control pain after laparoscopic weight-loss surgery. The goal is to find which method works better and causes fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways of delivering pain medicine through an IV pump (called PCA) after surgery. One method gives a steady dose, and the other slowly reduces the dose. The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
This trial tests a pain pump after specific shoulder or knee surgeries to see how well it controls pain. It may help you recover more comfortably after surgery.
This trial compares two ways to give pain medicine through an IV pump after surgery. It tests if a smart pump that adjusts the dose based on feedback works better than a standard pump that delivers a steady, fixed dose. This might help patients use less opioid pain medicine.
