Autonomic Neural Blockade in Bariatric Surgery (NCT07104825)
Autonomic Neural Blockade During Sleeve Gastrectomy and Gastric Bypass: A Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating Pain and Nausea After Bariatric Surgery
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this research is to evaluate if autonomic nerve block (ANB- blocking pain and nausea signals) decreases pain and anti-nausea medication requirements as well as the experience of pain/nausea during the first 72 hours after sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned either to the standard of care or the ANB group before surgery. As part of standard of care, in both groups, laparoscopic bariatric surgery will be initiated with local anesthetic injected into the abdominal wall. In the ANB group, participants will be given an additional injection of local anesthetic medication to block nerves on and around the stomach.
