Pain Relief After Gallbladder Removal Surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether flushing the abdomen with a numbing medication (bupivacaine) during minimally invasive gallbladder surgery reduces pain after the procedure compared to using saline (salt water) alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have not had bile duct stones or pancreas inflammation before surgery
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You can tell doctors about your pain levels clearly

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 trial tests a long-acting numbing medication (liposomal bupivacaine) injected around abdominal muscles during laparoscopic gallbladder removal to reduce pain after surgery. The goal is to see if it provides better pain control compared to standard approaches.
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 gives morphine during gallbladder removal surgery to see how it affects pain afterward. It may help you have less pain and recover more comfortably.
This study looks at pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help find better ways to manage discomfort after surgery.
