Opioid-sparing anesthesia for emergency abdominal surgery recovery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of anesthesia that uses fewer strong painkillers (opioids) to see if it helps patients recover better after emergency abdominal surgery. It may reduce side effects like nausea and drowsiness.

This study compares two types of general anesthesia for laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery: one that uses opioids (strong painkillers) and one that avoids them. The goal is to see which approach leads to a better recovery experience after surgery.
This study tests a pain management approach that avoids strong painkillers (opioids) during and after gynecological surgery. It uses a numbing injection in the belly wall and a medicine called dexmedetomidine to control pain instead.
This trial compares two anesthesia approaches for emergency abdominal surgery to see which one helps you recover better. One approach uses fewer opioid painkillers (like morphine), which may reduce side effects and speed recovery.
This study tests whether giving lidocaine (a numbing medicine) through a vein can improve pain control after open abdominal surgery. Patients will also receive morphine as part of their spinal anesthesia to see if adding lidocaine helps reduce pain and side effects.
This trial compares two ways of managing pain during weight-loss surgery: one uses opioids (strong painkillers), the other uses a combination of non-opioid medicines. It aims to see which approach leads to a safer and smoother recovery.
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.
