Comparing two numbing injections for pain after weight-loss surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for controlling pain after weight-loss surgery. If you qualify, you would receive one of these injections before surgery to help reduce pain and make recovery more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are scheduled to have laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (weight-loss surgery).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is over 35.
- You can use a pain pump that you control after surgery.
- You are not allergic to numbing medicines, not on blood thinners, and do not regularly use strong painkillers (opioids).

This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) used with ultrasound to manage pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery). The goal is to see which injection provides better pain relief after surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain control after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (a weight loss surgery). It aims to see which one provides better pain relief and is easier to perform, helping patients recover more comfortably.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to manage pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during and after your weight-loss surgery: one uses a nerve block (thoracic paravertebral block) to numb the area without opioid painkillers, and the other uses standard anesthesia. The goal is to see if the nerve block method reduces pain and improves recovery without the side effects of opioids.
