Pain control and gut recovery after abdominal surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of two pain-management approaches—a long-acting numbing medicine injected near nerves and a self-administered opioid—to see if they help your gut function better and control pain after bowel or colon surgery.

This study compares two pain-relieving medicines to see which works better and helps your stomach recover faster after major laparoscopic surgery. You will receive one of the two medicines during and after your operation.
This trial tests a painkiller called Tegileridine to see if it helps your bowels work normally again after abdominal surgery.
This trial tests two different pain medicines given after surgery to see which one helps patients recover better and feel better sooner. One is a tablet placed under the tongue, and the other is a standard opioid painkiller.
This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine (local anesthetic) at the surgery site helps reduce pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. If effective, it could offer a simple way to improve comfort after your operation.
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 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.
