Desflurane use guided by ANI monitor during gallbladder surgery
This trial tests whether using an ANI (Analgesia Nociception Index) monitor to guide anesthesia can reduce the amount of desflurane needed during routine gallbladder removal. If you are having elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy and are generally healthy, this study may help tailor your anesthesia care.
Iksan, Jeollabuk-doAges 19–65 - 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+ - NCT06753500RecruitingPhase 4
Numbing medicine during gallbladder surgery
This trial tests whether giving a special numbing medicine during gallbladder surgery helps reduce pain. It is for adults having laparoscopic (minimally invasive) gallbladder removal.
Barranquilla, AtlantivoAges 18 years+ - NCT06932835Recruiting
Pain relief after gallbladder surgery: TAP vs. M-TAPA block
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (TAP and M-TAPA) to see which one provides better pain relief after planned laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Both blocks are injections of numbing medicine around your abdomen to help control pain after surgery.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06996561RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
How your genes affect pain relief after surgery
This study looks at how your genes might affect pain relief from a medication called nalbuphine after abdominal or pelvic surgery. It aims to personalize pain management based on your genetic makeup.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–70 - NCT07182097Recruiting
Comparing two pain meds for gallbladder surgery recovery
This study compares two pain medications, fentanyl and remifentanil, used during laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The goal is to see which one helps you recover bowel function faster and control pain better after surgery.
Karatay, KonyaAges 18–65 - NCT07187310Recruiting
Two types of nerve blocks for gallbladder surgery
This trial compares two different nerve blocks (EXORA and ESP) to see which one works better for pain control during and after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. If you're having elective gallbladder surgery, you may be able to join.
El Fayoum Qesm, Faiyum GovernorateAges 18–65 - NCT07245108Recruiting
The Pro-Chol Study: Managing gallstones before surgery
This study looks at patients with uncomplicated gallstones who are scheduled for gallbladder removal surgery. It aims to improve care by comparing different approaches to managing your stones before surgery.
Copenhagen, BispebjergAges 18 years+ - NCT07678541Recruiting
Gallbladder infection treatment for people 75 and older
This study compares two ways to treat a gallbladder infection in older adults: surgery or a less invasive procedure using an endoscope and ultrasound. The goal is to see which option leads to better outcomes.
Oulu, OuluAges 75 years+ - NCT07328893RecruitingPhase 4
Magnesium for pain after gallbladder surgery
This trial tests whether a single dose of magnesium (given through an IV before surgery) can reduce the need for painkillers after gallbladder removal surgery. If you are a healthy adult getting this surgery, you may experience less pain and use fewer pain medications.
Jamshedpur, JharkhandAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT07445854Recruiting
Sensory mapping after nerve blocks for gallbladder surgery
This trial measures how different regional anesthesia techniques affect sensation on the skin. It may help doctors understand how to better manage pain after gallbladder surgery.
Samsun, IlkadımAges 18–75 - NCT07449897Recruiting
Gallstone removal during gallbladder surgery study
This study tests a method to remove bile duct stones during gallbladder surgery, aiming to treat both problems in one procedure.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT07552701Recruiting
Pain relief methods after gallbladder removal surgery
This study compares two different nerve-blocking techniques to help manage pain after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. Both methods use ultrasound guidance to deliver numbing medication near nerves, and the trial tests which approach works better for pain relief and overall recovery.
ÇorumAges 18–65 - 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 - 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 - 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.

- 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.
