Kayseri, KocasinanAges 18–70 - NCT07670494Recruiting
Comparing breathing machine settings during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery
This study compares different ways of using a breathing machine during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It looks at how much pressure is put on the lungs to find the safest and most effective method for people having this type of surgery.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07655323Recruiting
RISS vs. ESP Block for Gallbladder Surgery Pain
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (RISS and ESP) to manage pain after gallbladder removal surgery. It aims to find which block provides better pain relief.
Bursa, NilüferAges 18–75 - NCT07650760RecruitingPhase 4
Pain Relief After Gallbladder Removal Surgery
This trial tests whether flushing the abdomen with a numbing medication (bupivacaine) during minimally invasive gallbladder surgery reduces pain after the procedure compared to using saline (salt water) alone.
Wāh, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–60 - NCT07638527RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing nausea-prevention drugs after gallbladder surgery
This study tests two different medication combinations to prevent nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery. You'll receive either ondansetron plus metoclopramide, or dexamethasone plus metoclopramide, and researchers will track how quickly you need rescue medication if nausea occurs.
Faisalābad, Punjab ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT07626463Recruiting
Local anesthetic injection to reduce pain after laparoscopic surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) and a steroid around the surgical area before surgery reduces pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover more comfortably with potentially less pain medication needed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07591233Recruiting
Pain Relief Injection During Laparoscopic Surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication mixed with a steroid into the surgical area before making cuts can reduce pain after common laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover with less pain and fewer pain medications.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07591207Recruiting
Pain relief patch after laparoscopic abdominal surgery
This trial tests whether a pain-relief patch (loxoprofen) works well and safely to reduce pain after common laparoscopic surgeries like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. If it works, it could offer patients a non-invasive way to manage post-surgery pain.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07566663Recruiting
Pain Relief Before Gallbladder Removal Surgery
This study tests whether a pain-relief medication called Anrikefon, given before laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery, helps reduce pain after the procedure. Laparoscopic surgery uses small cuts and a camera, so it's less invasive than open surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07507799Recruiting
Comparing low vs standard dose block for gallbladder surgery
This trial tests two different amounts of a numbing medicine (local anesthetic) given during gallbladder removal surgery. The goal is to see if a lower dose works just as well for pain control.
El Fayoum Qesm, Faiyum GovernorateAges 18–65 - NCT07513012Enrolling by invitation
Pain Relief Methods After Gallbladder Removal Surgery
This study compares two ways of numbing the abdomen during gallbladder removal surgery to see which one works better for pain relief. One method numbs one side of your belly, and the other numbs both sides.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–80 - NCT07504705Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for pain after gallbladder surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (intertransverse process block and erector spinae plane block) to see which provides better pain relief after gallbladder removal surgery using small incisions (laparoscopic cholecystectomy).
Konya, KonyaAges 18 years+ - NCT07488078RecruitingPhase 1
IV fluids for recovery after gallbladder surgery
This trial compares giving more or less IV fluids during gallbladder removal surgery to see which helps patients recover faster. It may help you heal better after your operation.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cholecystectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 88 recruiting cholecystectomy studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a cholecystectomy trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cholecystectomy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
