NCT ID NCT07276646
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests two different nerve blocks to see which one better reduces pain and the need for strong painkillers after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Eighty adults having elective surgery will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocks. The main goal is to see how long it takes before they need extra pain medication.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
nerve block procedure (retrosuperior costotransverse ligament block or erector spinae block)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify a better nerve block technique to reduce opioid use and improve pain control after gallbladder surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study (80 participants) comparing two established techniques, so any advantage may be modest or not apply to other surgeries or patient groups.
