Pain relief after stomach cancer surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a combination pain reliever (Maxigesic) works better than standard pain medicine after stomach cancer surgery. It aims to improve pain control and reduce the need for strong opioids.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving a gentle, needle-free acupoint stimulation before or after stomach cancer surgery helps speed up recovery. The stimulation uses a small device on the skin, similar to a tens unit, to support recovery after laparoscopic gastrectomy.
This study tests a combination pain medicine (Maxigesic) to see how well it controls pain after breast cancer surgery. It may help you need fewer opioids after your operation.
This trial tests a gel (ropivacaine in a special polymer) applied during stomach cancer surgery to reduce pain after the operation. The goal is to help patients recover with less pain and fewer side effects from painkillers.
This trial tests if taking Maxigesic® (a combination of two pain relievers) before surgery can lower the amount of a strong IV pain medicine called remifentanil needed during anesthesia. It may help patients have a smoother recovery with fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether giving acetaminophen (a common pain reliever) after abdominal surgery provides better pain relief than a placebo (a pill with no medicine). It aims to help patients manage postoperative pain more effectively.
This study tests a new medication called HSK55718 to treat pain after abdominal surgery. If you're having moderate to severe pain within 4 hours of surgery, this trial may help you get relief and contribute to finding better pain treatments.
