Pre-incisional ropivacaine plus triamcinolone for pain after laparoscopic surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

Participants are adults aged 18 to 64 undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, or hernia repair under general anesthesia. They are randomized to receive a pre-incisional incision infiltration with ropivacaine plus triamcinolone versus ropivacaine alone, aiming to see if the steroid adds pain relief. The study focuses on short-term postoperative pain and recovery, considering the inflammatory component of incision-related pain. The approach leverages the anti-inflammatory properties of corticosteroids to potentially extend analgesia beyond local anesthetic duration. The trial is conducted at Beijing Tiantan Hospital with a single center involved.
