Numbing medicine placement for abdominal surgery pain relief
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests how different amounts and locations of numbing medicine (rectus sheath block) affect pain relief and sensation after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. It may help patients have better pain control with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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.
This trial tests a long-lasting numbing medicine injected near the back muscles to reduce pain after open surgery on the liver, stomach, or pancreas. It may help you need fewer painkillers and recover more comfortably.
This trial compares two types of pain blocks (nerve numbing injections) used during laparoscopic abdominal surgery to see which gives better pain relief after the operation. It may help you have less pain and recover more comfortably.
This trial is testing if a special numbing medicine called liposomal bupivacaine, given as a nerve block during surgery, can help reduce pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. It might help you feel better with less need for strong painkillers.
