New pain block may cut opioid use after gallbladder surgery
NCT ID NCT07321639
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—recto-intercostal fascial plane block (RIFPB) and transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB)—for pain control after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. 90 adults undergoing elective surgery will receive one of the two blocks. The main goal is to see which block reduces opioid painkiller use in the first 24 hours after surgery.

Active substance
local anesthetic (nerve block procedure)
What this could lead to
If one block works better, it could mean less pain and fewer opioids after gallbladder surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage comparison study. Results may not apply to other surgeries or patients, and individual pain responses vary.
