NCT ID NCT07624058
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks—erector spinae plane block and modified thoracoabdominal nerve block—for pain control after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Fifty adults aged 30-65 will receive one of the two blocks with bupivacaine. Researchers will measure how long until pain medication is needed, total painkiller use, and recovery quality.
