Pain relief after gallbladder surgery: TAP vs. M-TAPA block
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study tests two types of nerve blocks to reduce pain where a drainage tube is placed after gallbladder removal surgery. It aims to find which block provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
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 study compares two ways of numbing the abdomen during gallbladder removal surgery to see which one works better for pain relief. One method numbs one side of your belly, and the other numbs both sides.
