Treatment approaches for acute gallbladder inflammation
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares different ways to manage sudden gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis) in patients who are moderately or severely ill, to see which treatments lead to better recovery. It helps doctors learn the best approach for your situation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether doing a second ultrasound a few hours after the first one can help doctors find gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis) earlier, which could lead to faster treatment.
This study compares two ways of dealing with a swollen, inflamed gallbladder when surgery can't be done right away. It looks at whether just removing fluid with a needle (aspiration) is as good as placing a drain tube to keep fluid out over a few days.
This study looks at the best time to remove the gallbladder after a drainage procedure for severe gallbladder inflammation. It helps doctors decide when surgery is safest and most effective for you.
This study tests whether following a special recovery program (called ERAS or RICA) helps people who have surgery for moderate gallbladder inflammation recover faster and with fewer complications. If you are having gallbladder surgery soon, this may help you get back on your feet sooner.
This study compares two ways to drain an infected gallbladder when surgery is too risky: one using a needle through the skin (percutaneous drainage) and another using a tube placed through the mouth and stomach with an ultrasound (EUS-guided drainage). The goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective for patients who are not good candidates for surgery.
This trial compares two minimally invasive treatments for people with severe gallbladder inflammation caused by gallstones. It aims to see which approach better helps the immune system and reduces risks for those who are too sick for standard surgery.
