Local anesthetic injection to reduce pain after laparoscopic surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether injecting a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) and a steroid around the surgical area before surgery reduces pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover more comfortably with potentially less pain medication needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication mixed with a steroid into the surgical area before making cuts can reduce pain after common laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover with less pain and fewer pain medications.
This trial tests a long-acting painkiller injected during surgery to see if it reduces pain after keyhole (laparoscopic) procedures like gallbladder removal, hernia repair, or appendix removal. It may help you need fewer opioids and recover more comfortably.
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication (ropivacaine) mixed with a steroid (Diprospan) into the surgical area before chest surgery can reduce pain after the procedure. If it works, patients may need fewer pain pills and feel more comfortable during recovery.
This trial is testing if a special numbing medicine called liposomal bupivacaine, given as a nerve block during surgery, can help reduce pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. It might help you feel better with less need for strong painkillers.
This trial tests whether a pain-relief patch (loxoprofen) works well and safely to reduce pain after common laparoscopic surgeries like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. If it works, it could offer patients a non-invasive way to manage post-surgery pain.
This trial tests two ways of giving pain medicine during gallbladder removal surgery. One method uses standard local anesthetic injection, the other uses a special injection technique that may provide better pain relief.
