Pain relief after gallbladder surgery: comparing two nerve blocks
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks—one in the abdominal wall and another in the side—to see which provides better pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It helps find a more effective way to manage pain and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 60 years old
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 35
- You are scheduled for a laparoscopic gallbladder removal
- You have no serious health conditions (ASA I or II), meaning you are generally healthy or have only mild health issues
- You have no known allergies to local anesthetics or the study medications

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 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 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 trial tests two ways of giving pain medicine during gallbladder removal surgery. One method uses standard local anesthetic injection, the other uses a special injection technique that may provide better pain relief.
This study compares two different pain-relief techniques (nerve blocks) given during gallbladder removal surgery to see which one works better after the operation. Both methods numb specific nerves to reduce post-surgery pain.
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.
