Pain relief methods for gallbladder surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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 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 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 different pain-relief techniques (nerve blocks) given during gallbladder removal surgery to see which one works better after the operation. Both methods numb specific nerves to reduce post-surgery pain.
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 trial compares two ways to numb the area around your ribs and abdomen during open gallbladder surgery to help with pain relief after the operation. Researchers want to find out which method works better and causes fewer side effects.
This study compares three different nerve blocks to see which provides the best pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. Your participation could help determine a more effective way to manage postoperative pain.
