Nerve blocks for pain after weight-loss surgery
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy). If you qualify, you will receive one of these nerve blocks before surgery to help manage your recovery pain.

This trial compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to manage pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. If you are having this weight-loss surgery, these blocks might help reduce your need for pain medicine and improve your recovery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks—one in the abdominal wall and another in the side—to see which provides better pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It helps find a more effective way to manage pain and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
This trial compares two anesthetic nerve blocks to see which one reduces the need for opioid pain medicine after gallbladder removal. If you are having laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, this study may help you recover with less pain and fewer opioid side effects.
This study compares two ways to block pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery). Researchers test different nerve-blocking injections to see which one works better for pain control after the procedure.
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 compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during weight-loss surgery to help reduce pain after the procedure. The goal is to find which method works better for keeping patients comfortable during recovery.
