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 - 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+ - 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.
Aracaju, SergipeAges 18–49 - NCT07712211Recruiting
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 - NCT05272280Recruiting
Ultrasound nerve blocks for pain after gallbladder surgery
This trial compares two ultrasound-guided nerve block techniques to control pain after laparoscopic gallbladder (cholecystectomy) surgery. It may help by finding which method gives better pain relief with fewer side effects.
Asyut, Assiut, Asyut Governorate, Egypt,Ages 18–65 - NCT06123117Recruiting
Nerve block vs local painkiller for gallbladder surgery recovery
This study compares two ways of giving pain relief after gallbladder removal surgery. It tests if a nerve block (STALL) works better than injecting numbing medicine directly into the surgery site. The goal is to find which method reduces pain and the need for painkillers.
Espoo, UusimaaAges 18 years+ - NCT06415890Recruiting
4-7-8 breathing for shoulder pain after gallbladder surgery
This study tests whether a simple breathing technique (called 4-7-8 breathing) can help reduce shoulder pain and improve breathing after gallbladder removal surgery. It may be a good fit if you are having planned laparoscopic gallbladder surgery and staying overnight in the hospital.
HatayAges 18 years+ - NCT06607887RecruitingPhase 4
