A numbing injection for pain after gallbladder removal
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special numbing injection (called a TAP block) given before gallbladder removal surgery helps reduce pain after the operation. If you are having your gallbladder removed, this might be an option to help you feel more comfortable after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been told you have gallstones and need surgery to remove your gallbladder.
- You are between 11 and 60 years old.
- You are able to have surgery safely (no conditions that would prevent it).

This trial compares two ways to reduce pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal: one uses a nerve block during surgery and the other uses local anesthetic inside the abdomen. The goal is to find which approach provides better pain relief.
This study tests whether adding a painkiller to a numbing injection before gallbladder removal surgery helps reduce pain after the operation. If you're having laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, this could help you feel more comfortable afterward.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (TAP and M-TAPA) to see which one provides better pain relief after planned laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Both blocks are injections of numbing medicine around your abdomen to help control pain after surgery.
This study tests whether two different numbing injections (M-TAPA and TAPB) placed before surgery can reduce pain after keyhole gallbladder removal, compared to standard care. If you qualify, the injections may help you feel less discomfort after the operation.
This study compares two ways of numbing the abdomen during gallbladder removal surgery to see which one works better for pain relief. One method numbs one side of your belly, and the other numbs both sides.
This study compares how well a numbing injection (nerve block) works when given before versus after gallbladder removal surgery. The goal is to see which timing provides better pain relief after the operation.
