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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares how well a numbing injection (nerve block) works when given before versus after gallbladder removal surgery. The goal is to see which timing provides better pain relief after the operation.
This trial tests a numbing injection called a rectointercostal plane block to reduce pain after gallbladder removal surgery. If it works, you may have less pain and need fewer painkillers after the operation.
This study compares two types of numbing injections given before surgery to reduce pain after gallbladder removal. It aims to see which one works better.
This study tests a numbing injection (called a subcostal TAP block) given near the belly to see if it affects brain activity during gallbladder surgery. It may help improve pain control and anesthesia care.
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 tests a type of nerve block (a shot that numbs pain) given before laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The goal is to see if it helps you recover faster and with less pain after surgery.
