Subcostal TAP Block and EEG Changes During Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery
This observational study tests whether adding a subcostal TAP block to standard IV opioid therapy affects intraoperative brain activity measures and pain needs in adults undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
-
Dexmedetomidine vs magnesium as intraperitoneal add-ons to bupivacaine for laparoscopic gallbladder removal
This study tests whether adding dexmedetomidine or magnesium sulfate to bupivacaine injected inside the abdomen provides better pain relief after laparoscopic cholecystectomy for adults without serious health issues.
-
How different ventilator settings affect lung energy during gallbladder surgery
This study tests whether two ventilator modes (VCV and PRVC) deliver different amounts of energy to the lungs in adults undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal.
-
Erector Spinae Plane Block with Low-Flow Anaesthesia in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
This trial tests whether a nerve block done before surgery plus very low-flow anesthesia reduces pain and opioid use after gallbladder removal.
-
Pre-incisional ropivacaine plus Diprospan for pain after laparoscopic surgery
This study tests whether injecting ropivacaine with Diprospan before surgery reduces pain after laparoscopic gallbladder, appendix, or hernia operations compared with ropivacaine alone.
-
Erector Spinae Plane Block vs Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerve Block After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Two regional anesthesia techniques are being tested to see which provides better pain control after gallbladder removal surgery.
-
Pre-incisional ropivacaine plus triamcinolone for pain after laparoscopic surgery
This trial tests whether injecting ropivacaine with or without triamcinolone before incision can reduce postoperative pain in adults undergoing common laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal, appendix removal, or hernia repair.
-
Loxoprofen Sodium Patch to Help Postoperative Pain After Laparoscopic Surgery
This study tests whether applying a Loxoprofen patch to the incision area can help reduce pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal, appendix removal, or hernia repair.
-
Does preoperative melatonin improve recovery after gallbladder removal?
This study tests whether giving melatonin before gallbladder removal helps people recover better after surgery.
-
Liberal versus restrictive IV fluids after laparoscopic gallbladder removal
This will see if giving less IV fluid compared with more IV fluid after laparoscopic gallbladder removal helps adults aged 18–60 stay stable and recover similarly.
-
Sensory mapping of two nerve blocks for laparoscopic gallbladder surgery
We will test whether two regional nerve blocks (External Oblique Plane and Serratus Intercostal Plane) produce different skin numbness patterns in adults having elective laparoscopic gallbladder removal.
-
Best timing for subcostal TAP plus rectus sheath block to reduce pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal
This trial will test whether giving ultrasound-guided subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks combined with rectus sheath blocks before the incision or after surgery reduces pain for adults having elective laparoscopic gallbladder removal.
-
Nerve block versus IV pain control after laparoscopic gallbladder removal
This trial will test whether two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (paravertebral and external oblique intercostal) cut pain and tramadol use compared with IV patient-controlled tramadol in adults having elective laparoscopic gallbladder removal.
-
Intravenous labetalol versus lignocaine to reduce heart rate and blood pressure spikes during intubation for laparoscopic gallbladder removal
This test will try a single IV dose of labetalol or lignocaine given before intubation to see which better prevents sudden heart rate and blood pressure rises in adults having elective laparoscopic gallbladder surgery.
-
Ginger to prevent nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic gallbladder removal
This test will see if taking 800 mg of ginger two hours before laparoscopic gallbladder removal reduces nausea and vomiting in the first 24 hours after surgery.
-
Early versus delayed gallbladder removal after tube drainage for moderate or severe acute cholecystitis.
This trial tests whether removing the gallbladder soon after a drainage tube is placed or waiting several weeks leads to fewer complications for adults with moderate or severe acute cholecystitis.
-
Isoflurane versus sevoflurane effects on oxidative stress during laparoscopic gallbladder removal
This trial will test whether isoflurane or sevoflurane causes different levels of oxidative stress in adults having elective laparoscopic gallbladder removal.
-
Early versus late laparoscopic gallbladder removal after clearing common bile duct stones with ERCP
This trial will test whether having your gallbladder removed soon after ERCP or waiting longer gives better outcomes for people who had stones cleared from their common bile duct.
-
Using periorbital massage to reduce nausea and vomiting after gallbladder surgery
This study tests if a gentle massage around the eyes can help reduce nausea and vomiting in adults after gallbladder surgery.
-
Reducing unnecessary preoperative testing for low-risk surgeries
This study is testing a new approach to see if we can cut down on unnecessary medical tests before low-risk surgeries to make things easier and better for patients.
-
Laparoscopic-assisted TAP block versus spraying local anesthetic on the liver during keyhole gallbladder removal
This study will test whether giving a TAP block or squirting local anesthetic onto the liver during elective keyhole gallbladder removal reduces post-operative pain in adults.
-
Comparing two nerve block techniques for pain relief after gallbladder surgery
This study is testing which of two nerve block methods helps adults feel less pain after gallbladder surgery.

Quick answers
How many Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy clinical trials are recruiting right now?
22, as of November 12, 2026. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.
Where are these trials running?
In 10 countries. The most sites are in Turkey (Türkiye) (6 trials), Egypt (4 trials), China (3 trials), Pakistan (3 trials), Ireland (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.
What phases are they in?
Phase 1: 2, Phase 4: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
