How saline temperature and local anesthetics affect shoulder pain after gallbladder surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether warming the saline used during surgery or adding a numbing medicine can reduce shoulder pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It also checks how these affect inflammation markers in the blood.

This trial tests whether flushing the abdomen with a numbing medication (bupivacaine) during minimally invasive gallbladder surgery reduces pain after the procedure compared to using saline (salt water) alone.
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 types of numbing injections given during laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery to see which one reduces the need for strong pain medications during the procedure. You would receive one of these two injection methods as part of your anesthesia care.
This trial tests whether different ways of keeping your body warm during gallbladder surgery affect blood markers of inflammation. It aims to find the best warming method to help you recover better.
This study tests three different ways to control pain during gallbladder removal surgery: numbing the skin with bupivacaine, a nerve block in the back, or a small dose of morphine into the spinal fluid. The goal is to see which provides the best pain relief after surgery.
This study looks at pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help find better ways to manage discomfort after surgery.
