First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests two drugs—lidocaine and dexmedetomidine—given as infusions during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy to see which one helps with pain and recovery. Forty adults aged 20-50 with a BMI of 35-50 are being recruited. The goal is to find a better way to manage early post-surgery pain and reduce complications like nausea.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
lidocaine and dexmedetomidine
What this could lead to
If one drug works better, it could lead to a standard way to manage pain after weight-loss surgery, helping patients recover more comfortably.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 people, so results may not apply to everyone. Both drugs have side effects like nausea or low blood pressure.
