Testing fentanyl with TAP block for gallbladder surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding fentanyl to a TAP block (a numbing injection in the belly wall) helps control pain better during gallbladder removal. It may offer improved pain relief for eligible patients.

This study tests two different types of nerve blocks (TAP blocks) to see which one works better for pain around the drain site after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The nerve block is done during surgery to help with pain after the procedure.
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 study compares giving a nerve block (TAP block) before or after gallbladder removal surgery to see which reduces pain better and improves recovery.
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.
This trial tests whether adding fentanyl or nalbuphine to a common numbing medicine (bupivacaine) during gallbladder removal surgery can improve pain relief afterward. It is for generally healthy adults who are not pregnant and have no serious gallbladder problems or drug allergies.
This trial compares two drugs, ketamine and fentanyl, added to the standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) to see which works better for pain control during laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Both are injected into the belly area during surgery.
