Comparing two injection methods for pain relief after gallbladder surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You are scheduled for gallbladder removal surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy)
- You are in generally good health (ASA class 1, 2, or 3)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have not been taking strong pain medicines like opioids or steroids regularly
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or infection near where the injection would be given

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 study tests whether a numbing injection in the back (erector spinae plane block) helps reduce anesthesia needs during gallbladder surgery. It compares two anesthesia methods to see which works better for pain control and recovery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks—one in the abdominal wall and another in the side—to see which provides better pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It helps find a more effective way to manage pain and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
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 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.
