Which nerve block wins for gallbladder surgery pain?

NCT ID NCT07598162

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two types of nerve blocks—retrolaminar block and erector spinae plane block—for pain control after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. One hundred adults aged 20 to 60 will receive one of the two blocks during surgery. The main goal is to see which block delays the need for extra pain medicine and reduces overall opioid use.

Active substance

nerve block (local anesthetic injection)

What this could lead to

If one block works better, it could mean less pain and less need for strong painkillers after gallbladder surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 100 people. The results may not apply to everyone, and both blocks might work equally well or have side effects like infection or bleeding.
