Numbing medicine injected during laparoscopic abdominal surgery to reduce pain after surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if injecting a numbing medicine called bupivacaine into the abdomen during surgery can reduce pain after a laparoscopic hysterectomy (uterus removal through small cuts). It may help you recover with less discomfort.
This trial tests if numbing medicine (bupivacaine with epinephrine) placed over the diaphragm during laparoscopic surgery can reduce shoulder and other pain. It may help patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopy recover more comfortably.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before laparoscopic surgery in children to see which one provides better pain relief after the operation. The blocks are done using ultrasound to guide the needle, and the goal is to reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines.
This study tests a numbing injection near the spine (retrolaminar block) to reduce pain after lower back surgery with hardware. It could help you use less pain medicine and recover more comfortably.
This study tests two different strengths of a numbing medicine injected after gallbladder surgery to see which one gives better pain relief. It may help reduce pain after your operation.
This trial tests whether injecting a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) and a steroid around the surgical area before surgery reduces pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover more comfortably with potentially less pain medication needed.
