Pain relief methods after gallbladder removal surgery
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two different nerve-blocking techniques to help manage pain after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. Both methods use ultrasound guidance to deliver numbing medication near nerves, and the trial tests which approach works better for pain relief and overall recovery.

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 trial tests two ways of giving pain medicine during gallbladder removal surgery. One method uses standard local anesthetic injection, the other uses a special injection technique that may provide better pain relief.
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.
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 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 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.
