Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study compares the effectiveness of two different nerve block techniques, the modified thoracoabdominal nerve block through a perichondrial approach (M-TAPA) and the quadratus lumborum block, for providing postoperative pain relief in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The trial will involve adult patients aged 21 to 70 years who are classified as ASA physical status I or II. The goal is to determine which technique offers better analgesia following surgery under general anesthesia.
