Numbing medicine during gallbladder surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a special numbing medicine during gallbladder surgery helps reduce pain. It is for adults having laparoscopic (minimally invasive) gallbladder removal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having your gallbladder removed using small incisions (laparoscopic surgery)
- You have gallstones, with or without gallbladder inflammation
- You do not have other bile duct problems like pancreatitis or bile duct swelling
- You are not allergic to local numbing medicines like lidocaine
- You are not expected to need intensive care after surgery

This study compares two ways to numb the surgical area during laparoscopic gallbladder removal: an ultrasound-guided injection into the abdominal muscle sheath versus direct numbing medicine applied to the incision. The goal is to see which method reduces pain and painkiller use after surgery.
This study compares two types of numbing injections given during laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery to see which one reduces the need for strong pain medications during the procedure. You would receive one of these two injection methods as part of your anesthesia care.
This study tests three different ways to control pain during gallbladder removal surgery: numbing the skin with bupivacaine, a nerve block in the back, or a small dose of morphine into the spinal fluid. The goal is to see which provides the best pain relief after surgery.
This study tests whether two different numbing injections (M-TAPA and TAPB) placed before surgery can reduce pain after keyhole gallbladder removal, compared to standard care. If you qualify, the injections may help you feel less discomfort after the operation.
This trial tests a nerve block injection in the abdominal wall to reduce pain after gallbladder removal surgery. It may help patients recover more comfortably.
This trial tests a long-acting numbing medication (liposomal bupivacaine) injected around abdominal muscles during laparoscopic gallbladder removal to reduce pain after surgery. The goal is to see if it provides better pain control compared to standard approaches.
