Opioid-free pain relief for gallbladder removal surgery
This study tests a pain management approach that avoids opioid medications for people having their gallbladder removed with keyhole surgery. It aims to see if this method controls pain well while reducing opioid-related side effects.

This trial tests whether avoiding opioids during anesthesia can reduce pain and nausea after elective laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help patients who are concerned about side effects from opioid pain medicines.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during laparoscopic gallbladder removal: one using opioids and one without. The goal is to see if pain control can be as effective without opioids, which may have fewer side effects.
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 new way of guiding anesthesia during gallbladder removal surgery, with the goal of using less opioid pain medicine. It may help you have a smoother recovery with fewer side effects.
This study tests three different ways to control pain during gallbladder removal surgery: numbing the skin with bupivacaine, a nerve block in the back, or a small dose of morphine into the spinal fluid. The goal is to see which provides the best pain relief after surgery.
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.
