Pain relief after gallbladder surgery: two nerve blocks compared
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two anesthetic nerve blocks to see which one reduces the need for opioid pain medicine after gallbladder removal. If you are having laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, this study may help you recover with less pain and fewer opioid side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 to 64 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 30.
- You are scheduled for elective laparoscopic gallbladder removal that should take less than 2 hours.
- You are generally healthy (ASA class I or II).
- You are not allergic to lidocaine or bupivacaine (the numbing medicines used).

This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. If you take part, you will receive either an ultrasound-guided M-TAPA block or a quadratus lumborum block, and the researchers will measure how well each controls your pain.
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 study compares two nerve block methods for pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It tests if one method provides better pain control than the other, with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It aims to help patients recover with less discomfort and fewer pain medications.
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 compares three types of nerve blocks to see which works best for reducing pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The blocks are injected near the belly to numb the area, and the study aims to find the most effective one for better recovery.
