New pain block could cut opioid use after gallbladder surgery
NCT ID NCT07187310
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two types of nerve blocks (EXORA and ESP) to see which one works better for pain after gallbladder removal. About 114 adults having laparoscopic gallbladder surgery will receive one of the blocks before surgery. The goal is to find which block reduces the need for strong painkillers (opioids) and helps patients recover faster with fewer side effects.
