Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Postoperative pain management is essential and the inability to treat acute pain appropriately in the first 48 postoperative hours represents a risk factor for developing chronic pain. No. study has investigated IP granisetron as an adjuvant to standard care for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing LC.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Postoperative pain is a main challenge for delayed hospital discharge in Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. . Postoperative pain management is essential and the inability to treat acute pain appropriately in the first 48 postoperative hours represents a risk factor for developing chronic pain. Granisetron is frequently used as a premedication to avoid postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients who have undergone general anesthesia. The purpose of this study is evaluating the efficacy and tolerability of IP granisetron on postoperative pain control in patients undergoing LC
