Summary

This trial tests whether adding either dexmedetomidine or magnesium sulphate to a standard painkiller (bupivacaine) improves pain control and recovery in adults undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Eighty patients will receive one of the two combinations during surgery. Researchers will measure pain scores, quality of recovery, and need for extra pain medication.
