Nerve block for better breathing after gallbladder surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) can help you breathe better after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. If you are having this surgery, the block may reduce pain and improve your lung function afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic (keyhole) gallbladder removal under general anesthesia.
- Your physical status is healthy or have mild to moderate systemic disease (ASA I–III).
- You can perform breathing tests (spirometry).
- You are willing and able to give written consent.
- You do not have serious lung disease (like COPD, asthma, or restrictive lung disease), morbid obesity (BMI 35 or higher), bleeding problems, nerve or muscle disease affecting breathing, or a history of chest surgery.

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 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 a nerve block injection in the abdominal wall to reduce pain after gallbladder removal surgery. It may help patients recover more comfortably.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks for pain control during laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The goal is to find which block provides better pain relief.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (RISS and ESP) to manage pain after gallbladder removal surgery. It aims to find which block provides better pain relief.
This study tests a nerve block called EOIB to see if it helps reduce pain after gallbladder removal surgery. If you are having planned gallbladder surgery, this might be a good option for you.
