Be’er Ya‘aqovAges 18–85 - NCT05169073Recruiting
Virtual reality practice for gallbladder removal surgery
This trial tests whether virtual reality training can help surgeons perform laparoscopic gallbladder removal more effectively. It is meant for people scheduled for planned (non-emergency) gallbladder surgery due to gallstones or long-term gallbladder inflammation.
BaselAges 22–45 - 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 - NCT04699201Recruiting
Preventing abdominal hernias after gallbladder surgery
This trial tests a method (using a special mesh) to help prevent an abdominal wall hernia after planned laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. If you’re at risk of developing a hernia where the surgery cuts are made, this study may help reduce that risk.
Tarragona, TarragonaAges 18–99 - 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.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–60 - NCT07454629Recruiting
BIS monitoring and recovery after gallbladder surgery
This trial tests whether a special monitor that tracks your brain activity during anesthesia can improve how quickly and well you recover after gallbladder removal surgery.
Sakarya, SerdivanAges 18–65 - NCT07276646Recruiting
Pain relief after gallbladder surgery: two nerve blocks compared
This trial compares two anesthetic nerve blocks to see which one reduces the need for opioid pain medicine after gallbladder removal. If you are having laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, this study may help you recover with less pain and fewer opioid side effects.
ZagazigAges 21–64 - NCT06903182Recruiting
Timing of TAP block for gallbladder surgery
This study compares giving a nerve block (TAP block) before or after gallbladder removal surgery to see which reduces pain better and improves recovery.
Padua, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06575179RecruitingPhase 4
Testing a sedative to reduce anesthesia needs during gallbladder surgery
This trial tests if a sedative called dexmedetomidine can lower the amount of anesthetic (sevoflurane) needed to block body responses during keyhole gallbladder surgery. If it works, it may make anesthesia safer for patients.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–45 - NCT06599255Enrolling by invitation
Pain relief after gallbladder surgery: one shot vs. multiple shots
This trial compares two ways of giving a numbing injection (nerve block) to ease pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. One method uses a single injection, the other uses several smaller injections. The goal is to see which provides better pain control with fewer side effects.
Zagazig, Elsharkia,, Egypt,Ages 18–45 - NCT06717061Enrolling by invitation
Studying the normal abdominal wall in gallbladder surgery
This study collects tissue and blood samples from people having gallbladder surgery to better understand what a normal abdominal wall looks like. If you are scheduled for gallbladder removal due to gallstones and do not have certain health conditions, you may be able to help.
SkellefteåAges 18 years+ - NCT06954935Recruiting
Eye massage for nausea after gallbladder surgery
This study tests if a gentle massage around the eyes can help reduce nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. If you often feel sick after surgery, this might offer a drug-free way to feel better.
GaziantepAges 18–70 - NCT06934564Recruiting
Cutting unnecessary tests before low-risk surgeries
This study helps surgical teams cut down on unnecessary tests before common low-risk surgeries, like breast lump removal, gallbladder removal, or hernia repair. It aims to improve patient care by reducing extra, unneeded procedures.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06918652Recruiting
Surgery or endoscopy for high-risk gallbladder inflammation
This trial compares two minimally invasive treatments for people with severe gallbladder inflammation caused by gallstones. It aims to see which approach better helps the immune system and reduces risks for those who are too sick for standard surgery.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT06918626Recruiting
Comparing two bile duct stone removal approaches during gallbladder surgery
This trial compares two ways of checking for and removing stones from the main bile duct during gallbladder surgery. One method uses a special scope (SpyGlass) during the operation, and the other does an MRI first. The goal is to see which approach is better for people with gallstone-related inflammation of the gallbladder who might have stones in the bile duct.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT07413068Recruiting
Comparing treatments for gallstones and bile duct stones
This trial looks at three different ways to treat people who have both gallstones and stones in the bile duct. It aims to find which approach works best and with the fewest complications.
Jinan, ShandongAges 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 - NCT07295158Recruiting
Comparing Two Anesthesia Gases for Gallbladder Surgery
This trial compares two different anesthesia gases (sevoflurane vs. desflurane) during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It measures how each gas affects the pressure on your lungs, to see which might be safer.
Konya, KonyaAges 18–65 - NCT07717684RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing remimazolam and propofol for sleep during gallbladder surgery
This study compares two medications used to put you to sleep for gallbladder removal surgery. It looks at how quickly you lose consciousness with remimazolam versus the standard drug propofol.

Pain Catastrophizing and Nausea After Gallbladder Surgery
This study looks at how a person's tendency to focus on and feel overwhelmed by pain (called 'pain catastrophizing') might affect nausea and vomiting after gallbladder surgery. If you are scheduled for keyhole gallbladder removal, you may help doctors better predict and prevent post-surgery nausea.
TrabzonAges 18–65 - NCT03326154Recruiting
Improving quality of life after gallbladder removal
This study focuses on how people feel after having their gallbladder removed for painful, symptomatic gallstones. You may be asked to fill out questionnaires to compare quality of life after surgery and help researchers understand what recovery feels like for patients.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cholecystectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 100 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.
