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.

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 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.
This study tests whether a special numbing injection (called a TAP block) given before gallbladder removal surgery helps reduce pain after the operation. If you are having your gallbladder removed, this might be an option to help you feel more comfortable after surgery.
This study compares two ways to numb the belly area after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It aims to find which method gives better pain relief after the operation.
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.
