New nerve block recipe aims to cut opioid use after surgery

NCT ID NCT07380503

Summary

This study tested if adding a drug called dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing injection (nerve block) could improve pain relief after laparoscopic weight-loss surgery. Researchers compared different doses of the added drug against the standard injection alone in 78 patients with severe obesity. The main goal was to see if this combination could reduce the need for strong opioid painkillers after surgery, which have more side effects.
