Nerve block timing for gallbladder surgery pain relief
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is testing whether giving a numbing block (under the ribs and around the belly button) at a certain time before gallbladder removal surgery helps reduce pain after the operation. It aims to find the best timing for these pain blocks to improve your recovery.
This study tests a type of nerve block (a shot that numbs pain) given before laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The goal is to see if it helps you recover faster and with less pain after surgery.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one provides better pain relief after gallbladder removal surgery. If you join, you will receive one of the two blocks before your surgery, and your pain levels will be monitored afterward.
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 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 compares two ways of giving pain relief after gallbladder removal surgery: an injection of numbing medicine around the belly muscles (guided by ultrasound) versus a simple injection into the skin near the surgery cuts. The goal is to see which method provides better pain control and comfort after surgery.
