Nerve Block Comparison for Gallbladder Surgery Pain
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares two different nerve-block techniques (numbing injections near the spine) to see which one better reduces pain after minimally invasive gallbladder removal surgery. You would receive one of these pain-relief methods during surgery to help you feel more comfortable afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 65 years old
- You are having laparoscopic cholecystectomy (minimally invasive gallbladder removal surgery)
- You have no serious allergies to local anesthetic (numbing) medications
- You have no skin infection where the nerve block injection would be placed
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood-thinning medications that cannot be stopped
- You have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 35, and are generally in good to moderate health

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.
This trial tests which pain-relief block works better for patients having gallbladder removal by laparoscopy. It may help if you are having this surgery and want better pain control.
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 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 tests a special nerve block called M-TAPA to see if it helps control pain during and after gallbladder removal surgery. It might offer better pain relief with fewer side effects.
