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 (local anesthetic) at the surgery site helps reduce pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. If effective, it could offer a simple way to improve comfort after your operation.
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 two different pain relief medicines given during shoulder surgery to see which one works better and lasts longer. It may help reduce pain after surgery and decrease the need for opioids.
This trial tests whether adding a medication called dexmedetomidine to a numbing injection around shoulder nerves can improve pain control after laparoscopic shoulder surgery. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the numbing medication alone.
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.
