Comparing steroid doses for faster recovery after gallbladder surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two different doses of a steroid medication given before gallbladder removal surgery to see which dose helps you recover better after the operation. The steroid is meant to reduce inflammation and improve your recovery experience.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if adding two medicines, dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine, helps the stomach and intestines work better after keyhole gallbladder removal. The goal is to see if the combination can get your digestion back to normal faster.
This study is looking at whether giving a steroid called dexamethasone earlier or later during surgery affects recovery after the operation. It aims to improve how patients feel after surgery and reduce complications.
This study tests whether giving a low dose of a calming medicine (called dexmedetomidine) before gallbladder removal surgery reduces pain and helps you recover more smoothly. The medicine is given through an IV before general anesthesia, and the goal is to make your surgery and recovery more comfortable.
This study tests whether placing a common steroid medicine (dexamethasone) on the breathing tube during surgery can reduce throat soreness afterward. It is for adults having their gallbladder removed by keyhole surgery.
This study tests two different medication combinations to prevent nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery. You'll receive either ondansetron plus metoclopramide, or dexamethasone plus metoclopramide, and researchers will track how quickly you need rescue medication if nausea occurs.
This study compares two medications, dexmedetomidine and lignocaine, to see which works better for pain management during and after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help improve comfort and recovery for people having this surgery.
