Local anesthetic for pain after laparoscopic surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine at the surgery site reduces pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. It may help patients have less pain and recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic surgery on your abdomen, such as gallbladder removal, appendix removal, or hernia repair.
- You are in good general health (classified as ASA I or II).
- You can understand and use a pain scale (0 to 10) to describe your pain.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have no allergies to numbing medicines like bupivacaine.
- You do not have chronic pain, regular use of painkillers, substance abuse, or severe psychiatric conditions.

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 tests two different numbing injections (nerve blocks) for pain control after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (weight loss surgery). Researchers want to see which method is easier and works better for reducing pain.
This trial tests a long-acting numbing medication (liposomal bupivacaine) injected around abdominal muscles during laparoscopic gallbladder removal to reduce pain after surgery. The goal is to see if it provides better pain control compared to standard approaches.
This trial tests two different pain relief methods after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery to see which works better and causes fewer side effects.
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.
