Pain relief after weight loss surgery: comparing two nerve blocks
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study compares two types of pain blocks (numbing injections) after weight-loss surgery. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief after your operation.
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.
This study compares two ways to control pain after laparoscopic stomach removal surgery: applying a special temperature-sensitive gel mixed with a numbing medicine to the surgical area, versus a standard ultrasound-guided nerve block (injection of numbing medicine near the abdominal nerves). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief after surgery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one reduces pain better after laparoscopic stomach cancer surgery. If you qualify, you'll help doctors find the best way to manage pain with fewer side effects.
This trial compares two types of pain-blocking injections given during laparoscopic weight-loss surgery to see which provides better pain relief after the operation. If you are having this type of surgery, this could help you recover with less pain.
