Numbing injections for less pain after gallbladder surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two different numbing injections given before gallbladder removal surgery to see which one provides better pain control afterward. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two injections, and researchers will compare their pain levels and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 ultrasound-guided nerve block techniques to control pain after laparoscopic gallbladder (cholecystectomy) surgery. It may help by finding which method gives better pain relief with fewer side effects.
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 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 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 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.
