Nerve blocks for faster recovery after gallbladder surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a type of nerve block (a shot that numbs pain) given before laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The goal is to see if it helps you recover faster and with less pain after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have your gallbladder removed using small incisions (laparoscopy) for a non-cancerous gallbladder problem.
- You are not currently taking strong pain medications (opioids) on a regular basis.
- You do not have serious health issues like heart failure, liver failure, kidney failure, or bleeding problems.
- You are not allergic to numbing medicines (local anesthetics).
- You are willing to follow the study procedures and attend follow-up visits.

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 compares how well a numbing injection (nerve block) works when given before versus after gallbladder removal surgery. The goal is to see which timing provides better pain relief after the operation.
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 tests a numbing injection called a rectointercostal plane block to reduce pain after gallbladder removal surgery. If it works, you may have less pain and need fewer painkillers after the operation.
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.
