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.

This study compares two ways to manage pain during and after your weight-loss surgery: one uses a nerve block (thoracic paravertebral block) to numb the area without opioid painkillers, and the other uses standard anesthesia. The goal is to see if the nerve block method reduces pain and improves recovery without the side effects of opioids.
This trial compares two types of pain-blocking injections given during laparoscopic weight-loss surgery to see which provides better pain relief after the operation. If you are having this type of surgery, this could help you recover with less pain.
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.
This study tests two different ways to numb the belly area during weight-loss surgery to see which one reduces pain better after the operation. If you are having sleeve gastrectomy, this could help you recover with less discomfort.
