Pain Relief Methods for Abdominal Wall Surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two different pain-relief injection techniques (BDE and Exparel) given during abdominal wall reconstruction surgery to see which works better at reducing pain and opioid use after surgery. You would receive one of these injections as part of your anesthesia care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are having robotic or open abdominal wall reconstruction surgery at a BSW Health facility
- You are 18 years or older
- You are not pregnant (women of childbearing age will have a pregnancy test before surgery)
- You have not had chronic pain or do not regularly take opioid pain medications
- You are not allergic to BDE, Exparel, acetaminophen, gabapentin, or pregabalin

This trial compares two long-acting pain medicines, Zynrelef and Exparel, to see which works better for pain control after robotic sleeve gastrectomy. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce the need for stronger painkillers.
This trial tests whether a long-lasting numbing shot (liposomal bupivacaine) works better than a regular numbing shot (plain bupivacaine) for pain after minimally invasive chest surgery. It may help you have less post-surgery pain and potentially use less pain medication.
This trial compares two medications added to a numbing injection around your abdominal muscles during belly surgery to help manage pain after surgery. The study aims to find which combination works better and lasts longer.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after hernia repair surgery: using an epidural (a small tube in your back that delivers pain medicine) versus other pain medications that aim to reduce opioid use. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and helps you recover more comfortably.
This study tests if a long-lasting numbing medicine called Exparel, given by the surgeon during knee replacement, helps control pain after surgery. It is for people having their first total knee replacement on one knee due to arthritis.
This trial tests two different pain-relief injections given before abdominal surgery to see which one works better. It may help reduce pain after the operation.
