Numbing medicine for pain relief in laparoscopic surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if numbing medicine (bupivacaine with epinephrine) placed over the diaphragm during laparoscopic surgery can reduce shoulder and other pain. It may help patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopy recover more comfortably.

This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine at the surgery site reduces pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. It may help patients have less pain and recover more comfortably.
This trial tests if injecting a numbing medicine called bupivacaine into the abdomen during surgery can reduce pain after a laparoscopic hysterectomy (uterus removal through small cuts). It may help you recover with less discomfort.
This study tests whether adding two medications (Exparel and dexamethasone) to a shoulder surgery nerve block reduces pain and opioid use after surgery. If you're having primary shoulder surgery, this trial may help you recover with less pain medication.
This trial compares using lower gas pressure during minimally invasive gynecologic surgery to the standard pressure. The goal is to see if lower pressure reduces pain and speeds recovery after surgery.
This trial compares two types of numbing medications (liposomal bupivacaine and standard bupivacaine) given as a nerve block for shoulder surgery. Researchers want to see which one works better for pain relief and causes fewer problems with your breathing afterward.
This study tests a numbing medicine injected near the shoulder to see if it gives better pain relief after arthroscopic shoulder surgery than the standard approach. It might help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
