Numbing injection for faster recovery after gastric sleeve
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a numbing injection near the abdominal muscles (called a TAP block) can help your digestive system recover faster after weight-loss surgery. Researchers will measure recovery using two special scales.

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 study tests whether two different numbing injections (M-TAPA and TAPB) placed before surgery can reduce pain after keyhole gallbladder removal, compared to standard care. If you qualify, the injections may help you feel less discomfort after the operation.
This trial compares two different numbing techniques (nerve blocks) to help manage pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, a weight loss surgery. The goal is to find which method works better for pain control after the procedure.
This study compares two different ways to give a numbing medicine (TAP block) before abdominal surgery to see which one works better for pain control. If you are scheduled for elective abdominal surgery, joining may help doctors find the best way to manage your pain.
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 tests if giving pain medicine in a different area of the abdomen can reduce pain after weight-loss surgery. It may help you feel more comfortable after your sleeve gastrectomy.
