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.
Who can take part
- 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
- You are not having any other surgeries planned during the same hospital stay

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 tests whether adding two medications (Exparel and dexamethasone) to a shoulder surgery nerve block reduces pain and opioid use after surgery. If you're having primary shoulder surgery, this trial may help you recover with less pain medication.
This trial compares two methods of pain control after ACL surgery: a long-lasting local anesthetic (Exparel) versus a nerve block. It aims to find which provides better pain relief and recovery.
This trial tests a numbing injection for the belly wall to see if it controls pain after surgery. It is for adults who meet certain health and weight requirements.
