Nerve block during sleeve gastrectomy may cut Post-Op pain and nausea
NCT ID NCT07274215
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new method to reduce pain and nausea after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, a common weight-loss surgery. About 200 adults will receive either a paragastric nerve block (injecting numbing medicine near the stomach) or a placebo during surgery. The goal is to see if this block lowers pain scores and the need for strong painkillers in the first hours after surgery.
