First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested three different nerve blocks (TAP, ESP, and PVB) to control pain in 60 people having gallbladder surgery. Each block used the same numbing medicine, bupivacaine. Researchers measured pain scores, need for extra painkillers, and side effects. The goal was to see which block provides the best pain relief.
