This study compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: one uses a medication called dexmedetomidine given through an IV, and the other uses a combination of nerve blocks (TAP block and paragastric block) to see which leads to a better recovery.
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 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 tests a special nerve block called M-TAPA to see if it helps control pain during and after gallbladder removal surgery. It might offer better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study tests a specific pain-management plan for people who are scheduled for sleeve gastrectomy (done by laparoscopy or robotics). The goal is to find how to control pain safely around the time of surgery while avoiding certain risks and medication issues.
This study tests two different ways to numb the belly area during weight-loss surgery to see which one reduces pain better after the operation. If you are having sleeve gastrectomy, this could help you recover with less discomfort.
