A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the perioperative outcomes of dexmedetomidine versus lignocaine in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A total of 140 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either dexmedetomidine or lignocaine infusion during surgery to assess their effects on postoperative pain, hemodynamic stability, and gastrointestinal function. The study will be conducted at Sahiwal Medical College over a 12-month period, with careful monitoring of vital signs and pain levels. The goal is to determine which medication provides better analgesia and fewer complications in this surgical setting.
