Extra nerve block dose after weight loss surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving an extra dose of a nerve-blocking medication after weight-loss surgery can reduce pain, nausea, and vomiting. It may help patients who are at higher risk for these symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having sleeve gastrectomy (weight loss surgery) through small incisions

- You do not have a history of chronic opioid use

This trial tests if a nerve block can help control pain after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. The goal is to reduce the need for strong pain medicines and improve recovery.
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.
This trial tests whether giving a nerve block before or after bariatric surgery works better for pain control. It could help you have less pain and use fewer painkillers after your procedure.
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.
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 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.
