Comparing two pain blocks for gallbladder surgery
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests which pain-relief block works better for patients having gallbladder removal by laparoscopy. It may help if you are having this surgery and want better pain control.

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 compares two types of nerve blocks (intertransverse process block and erector spinae plane block) to see which provides better pain relief after gallbladder removal surgery using small incisions (laparoscopic cholecystectomy).
This study tests whether a numbing injection in the back (erector spinae plane block) helps reduce anesthesia needs during gallbladder surgery. It compares two anesthesia methods to see which works better for pain control and recovery.
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.
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 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.
