Summary

This trial compares two common pain medicines—gabapentin and diclofenac sodium—given before laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery. Sixty adults aged 20 to 60 with chronic gallbladder inflammation are taking part. Pain levels are measured using a simple 0-to-10 rating scale.

What this could lead to
