This study looks at how well a breathing machine can work with your body during gallbladder surgery, and whether this helps doctors use fewer muscle-relaxing medications and feel more satisfied with the procedure.
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 whether warming the saline used during surgery or adding a numbing medicine can reduce shoulder pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It also checks how these affect inflammation markers in the blood.
This trial tests if giving lidocaine during laparoscopic gallbladder removal reduces pain and helps recovery. It is for adults having elective gallbladder surgery who are generally healthy.
This trial tests whether TENS, a mild electrical therapy, can reduce pain and anxiety after gallbladder removal. If you are having planned gallbladder surgery and are in good health, you may be able to participate.
