Pain relief methods for gallbladder removal surgery
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 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 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 compares two ways of giving pain relief after gallbladder removal surgery. It tests if a nerve block (STALL) works better than injecting numbing medicine directly into the surgery site. The goal is to find which method reduces pain and the need for painkillers.
