ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to compare two different methods of pain relief used during and after a surgery called abdominoplasty, which is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen. The two methods being studied are the Transversus Abdominis Plane Block and the Rectus Sheath Block. Both techniques aim to help reduce pain after surgery and lessen the need for stronger pain medications, like opioids.

To be eligible for this study, participants should be adults aged 18 to 65 who are scheduled for elective abdominoplasty surgery and have a body weight between 50 and 80 kg. The trial is not open to individuals with serious health issues, those under 18, or anyone who has certain medical conditions that would make these pain relief methods unsafe. If you decide to participate, you can expect to receive one of the pain relief methods during your surgery, and researchers will monitor your pain levels and recovery closely. This study may help improve pain management techniques for future patients undergoing similar procedures.
