Two types of nerve blocks for gallbladder surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two different nerve blocks (EXORA and ESP) to see which one works better for pain control during and after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. If you're having elective gallbladder surgery, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two ultrasound-guided nerve block techniques to control pain after laparoscopic gallbladder (cholecystectomy) surgery. It may help by finding which method gives better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (RISS and ESP) to manage pain after gallbladder removal surgery. It aims to find which block provides better pain relief.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks for pain control during laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The goal is to find which block provides better pain relief.
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 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.
This trial looks at two different pain-blocking injections (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain after keyhole stomach cancer surgery. If you are having this type of surgery, joining could help us learn which block gives you better pain relief.
