Anesthesia with less opioid for recovery after emergency belly surgery
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
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 trial compares two medications added to a numbing injection around your abdominal muscles during belly surgery to help manage pain after surgery. The study aims to find which combination works better and lasts longer.
This trial tests whether giving a medicine called lidocaine through a vein during emergency abdominal surgery can reduce long-term pain after the operation. Lidocaine is a common numbing medicine, and this study aims to see if it helps prevent chronic pain that some people experience after surgery.
This study tests if a completely opioid-free anesthesia approach works as well as standard general anesthesia for people having laparoscopic or robotic urological surgery. It aims to offer effective pain control without using strong opioid painkillers.
