Sensory mapping after nerve blocks for gallbladder surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial measures how different regional anesthesia techniques affect sensation on the skin. It may help doctors understand how to better manage pain after gallbladder surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery.
- You will receive a regional anesthesia (nerve block) for the surgery.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are in good general health or have mild to moderate health issues (ASA I, II, or III).
- You have not had any previous abdominal surgery that would affect the laparoscopic approach.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 compares two ways to numb the area around your ribs and abdomen during open gallbladder surgery to help with pain relief after the operation. Researchers want to find out which method works better and causes fewer side effects.
This trial compares two different nerve-block techniques (numbing injections near the spine) to see which one better reduces pain after minimally invasive gallbladder removal surgery. You would receive one of these pain-relief methods during surgery to help you feel more comfortable afterward.
This study tests whether a numbing injection in the back (erector spinae plane block) helps reduce anesthesia needs during gallbladder surgery. It compares two anesthesia methods to see which works better for pain control and recovery.
This trial tests which pain-relief block works better for patients having gallbladder removal by laparoscopy. It may help if you are having this surgery and want better pain control.
This trial compares two types of numbing injections (ESP block and TAP block) to see which provides better pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. If you're having this surgery, the results could help improve how your pain is managed afterward.
