Nerve block showdown: which eases gallbladder surgery pain better?
NCT ID NCT06663345
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two types of nerve blocks (TAP and QLB) to see which one better controls pain and reduces the need for strong painkillers after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. 65 adults having this surgery received one of the two blocks. The goal was to find a safer way to manage pain and avoid opioid side effects like nausea and drowsiness.
