Study on Maneuvers to Reduce Laparoscopic Pain

This study is looking at ways to reduce pain after laparoscopic surgery (a type of surgery using small cuts and a camera). It's testing three different methods at the end of surgery: using a smoke evacuator to remove gas, performing 'recruitment breaths' (repeated lung inflation), or simply letting the gas leave on its own (control group). The goal is to see which method best reduces pain after surgery, especially shoulder pain, which can be caused by the carbon dioxide gas used during the procedure. We are looking for women aged 18 to 65 who are having elective laparoscopic surgery for non-cancerous conditions. The study will track your pain levels for one week after surgery. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 150 participants.

What this trial measures

  • Post operative painFrom enrollment until 1 week post surgery

    Post-operative pain: Patients will be assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) by rating their pain on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable) immediately prior to leaving the post-anesthesia care unit, on post-operative day 2, and post-operative day 7.
