Official title: The Efficacy and Safety of Incisional Preemptive Analgesia Using Loxoprofen Sodium Patch in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery: a Multi-center Randomized Controlled Trial.
Run by Beijing Tiantan Hospital · NCT07591207 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether applying a Loxoprofen patch to the incision area can help reduce pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal, appendix removal, or hernia repair.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18-64 undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, or hernia repair under general anesthesia, and meeting ASA I-III criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with contraindications to NSAIDs, severe BMI extremes, or those outside the eligible surgical procedures may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This multicenter, randomized trial investigates whether a Loxoprofen Sodium Patch used on the incision site can lessen postoperative pain in adults undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, or hernia repair. Participants are adults 18-64 with ASA I-III and are randomized to receive the patch on the incision or on the opposite side, with the aim of reducing analgesic needs and side effects while improving satisfaction. The study focuses on local incision analgesia and its potential to minimize systemic analgesic requirements after surgery. Outcomes include pain levels, analgesic consumption, side effects, and patient satisfaction. The trial is conducted at Beijing Tiantan Hospital with a single lead sponsor and no listed collaborators.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could experience less incision pain after laparoscopic surgery and require fewer pain medications.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have explored local analgesia strategies to reduce postoperative pain, with mixed results; this trial tests a specific patch approach in a defined surgical population.
