This study tests if adding labetalol, magnesium sulfate, or lidocaine during gallbladder removal surgery can reduce the need for opioid painkillers after surgery. It aims to improve pain control and reduce opioid side effects.
This study compares two ways of giving pain relief after gallbladder removal surgery: an injection of numbing medicine around the belly muscles (guided by ultrasound) versus a simple injection into the skin near the surgery cuts. The goal is to see which method provides better pain control and comfort after surgery.
This study tests two different strengths of a numbing medicine injected after gallbladder surgery to see which one gives better pain relief. It may help reduce pain after your operation.
