This trial measures how the medicine gabapentin moves through your body after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. It may help doctors better choose doses for people taking gabapentin after weight-loss surgery.
This study tests two medicines, pregabalin and gabapentin, to see which works better for pain control before surgery in older adults. If you are 65 or older and having certain abdominal surgery with spinal anesthesia, this might help your recovery.
This study tests whether gabapentin can reduce how much opioid pain medicine children need after certain major chest or heart surgeries. If it works, it may lower opioid-related side effects while still helping with postoperative pain.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic bariatric surgery: one method involves numbing medicine placed near the surgery site, and the other uses an ultrasound-guided injection near the back. It aims to find which option works better for recovery in people with moderate to severe obesity.
This trial tests whether giving a nerve block before or after bariatric surgery works better for pain control. It could help you have less pain and use fewer painkillers after your procedure.
