NCT ID NCT07552701
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to control pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Seventy adults will receive either a modified thoracoabdominal nerve block or a recto-intercostal fascial plane block. The goal is to see which block reduces the need for opioid painkillers and improves recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
bupivacaine
What this could lead to
If one block works better, it could offer a safer, opioid-sparing pain relief option for gallbladder surgery patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 70 participants. Results may not apply to all patients or surgeries, and both blocks may work similarly.
