New study aims to ease pain and improve breathing after gallbladder surgery
NCT ID NCT07666646
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks—erector spinae plane block and modified thoracoabdominal nerve block—to see which one works better for pain control and lung function after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Sixty adults having elective surgery will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocks. The goal is to find a method that reduces pain and opioid use while helping patients breathe easier after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
local anesthetic (bupivacaine or similar)
What this could lead to
If one block works better, it could mean less pain, better breathing, and less need for strong painkillers after gallbladder surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 people. Results may not apply to everyone, and nerve blocks carry small risks like infection or bleeding.
