Summary

This study compares two types of nerve blocks—erector spinae plane block and subcostal transversus abdominis plane block—for pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. One hundred adults having elective surgery will receive one of the two blocks, and researchers will track how much opioid pain medicine they need in the first 24 hours. The goal is to see which block provides better pain control and fewer side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
nerve block (local anesthetic injection)
What this could lead to
If one block proves better, it could reduce opioid use and improve recovery for people having gallbladder surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage comparison. Results may not apply to other surgeries or patients with different health conditions.
