New painkiller combo could cut opioid use after keyhole surgery
NCT ID NCT07458282
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a long-acting numbing drug called liposomal bupivacaine, combined with standard bupivacaine, can provide better pain relief after laparoscopic surgery. About 318 adults having gallbladder, hernia, or appendix surgery will receive either the new combo or standard care via a nerve block. The goal is to see if it reduces the need for rescue pain medication and improves recovery.
