Nerve blocks for pain relief after gallbladder surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after gallbladder removal surgery. It aims to help you recover more comfortably with less need for strong painkillers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a planned laparoscopic gallbladder removal (not an emergency).
- You are in good health or have only mild well-controlled medical conditions (like high blood pressure or diabetes).
- You are not allergic to local numbing medicines or strong painkillers.
- You do not have an infection at the injection site (usually lower back or side).
- You are not taking blood-thinning medications (like warfarin or apixaban).

This study compares two types of nerve blocks—one in the abdominal wall and another in the side—to see which provides better pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It helps find a more effective way to manage pain and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
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 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 study compares two types of nerve blocks (pain-relieving injections) after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It aims to see which block works better for controlling pain after the procedure.
This study is testing whether giving a numbing block (under the ribs and around the belly button) at a certain time before gallbladder removal surgery helps reduce pain after the operation. It aims to find the best timing for these pain blocks to improve your recovery.
This trial tests a type of pain-blocking injection (called a paravertebral nerve block) given during laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and help you recover faster after the procedure.
