Nerve Blocks to Help Recovery After Gallbladder Surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of pain-blocking injection (called a paravertebral nerve block) given during laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and help you recover faster after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for planned (elective) laparoscopic gallbladder surgery for non-cancerous gallbladder disease
- You do not have a skin infection or other conditions that would make nerve blocks unsafe for you
- You are not taking opioid pain medications regularly (chronic use)
- Your heart, liver, and kidneys are working adequately
- You can attend follow-up visits and comply with study instructions after surgery

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 tests a nerve block injection in the abdominal wall to reduce pain after gallbladder removal surgery. It may help patients recover more comfortably.
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 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 study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. If you take part, you will receive either an ultrasound-guided M-TAPA block or a quadratus lumborum block, and the researchers will measure how well each controls your pain.
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.
