This trial tests whether giving an extra dose of a nerve-blocking medication after weight-loss surgery can reduce pain, nausea, and vomiting. It may help patients who are at higher risk for these symptoms.
This study tests a nerve block (an injection near the nerves) to see if it helps reduce pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The block is called a modified thoracoabdominal nerve plane block, and it may lead to better pain control and recovery.
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 types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy). If you qualify, you will receive one of these nerve blocks before surgery to help manage your recovery pain.
This trial compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to manage pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. If you are having this weight-loss surgery, these blocks might help reduce your need for pain medicine and improve your recovery.
