Comparing two belly numbing methods for gallbladder removal
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at two different ways to numb your belly after gallbladder removal surgery to reduce pain. One uses numbing medicine near your ribs, the other near your belly button area. It will help find which method works better for pain relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
