Timing of pain blocks for gallbladder surgery recovery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a planned gallbladder removal surgery using small incisions (laparoscopic cholecystectomy).
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your overall health is good or stable (classified as ASA I, II, or III).
- You do not have any allergies to the pain medicines used in the study.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a nerve block called the rectointercostal plane block to manage pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. If you are having this surgery and are in good general health, this may help control your pain without strong medications.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
