Testing a nerve block for gallbladder surgery pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a special nerve block called M-TAPA to see if it helps control pain during and after gallbladder removal surgery. It might offer better pain relief with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 17.5 and 30.
- You are classified as ASA I or II (meaning you are generally healthy or have mild illness).

This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. If you take part, you will receive either an ultrasound-guided M-TAPA block or a quadratus lumborum block, and the researchers will measure how well each controls your pain.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to manage pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This trial compares two different nerve-block techniques (numbing injections near the spine) to see which one better reduces pain after minimally invasive gallbladder removal surgery. You would receive one of these pain-relief methods during surgery to help you feel more comfortable afterward.
This study tests a nerve block called the external oblique intercostal block to reduce pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. If you are having this surgery, the block may help you need less pain medication and feel more comfortable after the procedure.
This study tests a numbing injection (called a subcostal TAP block) given near the belly to see if it affects brain activity during gallbladder surgery. It may help improve pain control and anesthesia care.
This study compares how well a numbing injection (nerve block) works when given before versus after gallbladder removal surgery. The goal is to see which timing provides better pain relief after the operation.
