Opioid-free anesthesia for gynecological surgery in women with high body weight
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether breast cancer surgery can be done safely without using opioid pain medicines during anesthesia. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids leads to fewer side effects and a smoother recovery.
This trial studies an “opioid-free” anesthesia and pain plan during planned open surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The goal is to see whether this approach reduces surgical stress and pain compared with usual care.
This study tests two types of anesthesia for laparoscopic hysterectomy: one that uses opioids (strong painkillers) and one that avoids them. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover better after surgery.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia during emergency belly surgery to see if using less opioid (strong painkiller) helps you feel better and recover faster after the operation.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for weight-loss surgery: one that uses standard painkillers (opioids) and one that avoids these drugs. The goal is to see which approach works better for recovery and pain control.
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.
