Ketamine vs Fentanyl for pain relief during gallbladder surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two drugs, ketamine and fentanyl, added to the standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) to see which works better for pain control during laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Both are injected into the belly area during surgery.

This study compares two pain medications, fentanyl and remifentanil, used during laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The goal is to see which one helps you recover bowel function faster and control pain better 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 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 whether adding fentanyl or nalbuphine to a common numbing medicine (bupivacaine) during gallbladder removal surgery can improve pain relief afterward. It is for generally healthy adults who are not pregnant and have no serious gallbladder problems or drug allergies.
This trial compares two pain medicines added to a standard numbing shot (bupivacaine) for gallbladder surgery done through small incisions (laparoscopic cholecystectomy). The goal is to see which medicine provides better pain control after surgery.
This trial tests if adding ketamine or dexmedetomidine during anesthesia can prevent increased pain after surgery. It may help people having laparoscopic gallbladder removal feel better after the procedure.
