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 trial compares two different numbing techniques (nerve blocks) to help manage pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, a weight loss surgery. The goal is to find which method works better for pain control after the procedure.
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 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.
