Pain relief blocks after laparoscopic surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of pain blocks (nerve numbing injections) used during laparoscopic abdominal surgery to see which gives better pain relief after the operation. It may help you have less pain and recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You are generally healthy or have mild, well-controlled health conditions (like mild diabetes or high blood pressure).
- You are not allergic to local anesthetics (numbing medicines).

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy). If you qualify, you will receive one of these nerve blocks before surgery to help manage your recovery pain.
This trial compares two anesthetic nerve blocks to see which one reduces the need for opioid pain medicine after gallbladder removal. If you are having laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, this study may help you recover with less pain and fewer opioid side effects.
This study compares two nerve block methods for pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It tests if one method provides better pain control than the other, with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (RISS and ESP) to manage pain after gallbladder removal surgery. It aims to find which block provides better pain relief.
