Pain relief methods for gallbladder surgery
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to reduce pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal: one uses a nerve block during surgery and the other uses local anesthetic inside the abdomen. The goal is to find which approach provides better pain relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for elective gallbladder removal surgery using laparoscopy (small incisions with a camera)

This study is testing whether giving a numbing block (under the ribs and around the belly button) at a certain time before gallbladder removal surgery helps reduce pain after the operation. It aims to find the best timing for these pain blocks to improve your recovery.
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 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.
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.
This trial compares two types of numbing injections (ESP block and TAP block) to see which provides better pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. If you're having this surgery, the results could help improve how your pain is managed afterward.
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.
