Active suction vs. pressure to reduce pain after gallbladder surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to remove leftover gas from the belly after keyhole gallbladder surgery. One method uses active suction and the other uses simple pressure. The goal is to see which reduces pain better.

This trial compares two different air pressure levels used during laparoscopic gallbladder removal to see which one causes less pain after surgery, including shoulder pain and bile duct injuries.
This trial tests whether flushing the abdomen with a numbing medication (bupivacaine) during minimally invasive gallbladder surgery reduces pain after the procedure compared to using saline (salt water) alone.
This study compares two different gas pressures used during laparoscopic surgery to see if lower pressure reduces shoulder pain afterward. It may help if you're having surgery to remove an ovary, fallopian tube, or ovarian cyst.
This study looks at pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help find better ways to manage discomfort after surgery.
This study compares two different nerve-blocking techniques to help manage pain after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. Both methods use ultrasound guidance to deliver numbing medication near nerves, and the trial tests which approach works better for pain relief and overall recovery.
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.
