This study compares two ways to manage pain during weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) without using opioid drugs. One method uses a nerve block (paravertebral block) and the other uses a combination of non-opioid medications. The goal is to see which approach reduces pain and side effects better.
This study tests whether giving lidocaine (a numbing medicine) through an IV can help you wake up more smoothly and with less discomfort after laparoscopic gallbladder or gynecologic surgery. If you are generally healthy and having one of these specific surgeries, you may be a good fit.
This study tests a special numbing injection (called a paragastric block) to see if it reduces pain and nausea after sleeve gastrectomy surgery. If you are having this weight-loss surgery, the injection might help you feel better and recover more comfortably.
This study compares giving ondansetron (a nausea medicine) through a vein versus injecting it near a nerve to prevent nausea and vomiting after weight loss surgery. It may help identify which method works best for patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
This trial compares two medicines given through an IV during sleeve gastrectomy (weight-loss surgery) to see which provides better pain control. It may help patients have a smoother recovery with less discomfort.
This study tests whether adding two medicines (lidocaine and dexmedetomidine) to your anesthesia during weight-loss surgery can reduce pain, swelling, and stress on the body. It might help you have a smoother recovery.
