Pain Relief Methods After Weight Loss Surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
