Study of pain processing after planned hysterectomy
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at how the nervous system and fear of pain may affect pain after a planned hysterectomy. If you qualify, you may be asked about pain levels and pain sensitivity to better understand who may have more pain recovery challenges.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 80 years old
- Your hysterectomy is planned and done through the abdomen or laparoscopically
- Your surgery is for a non-cancer, non-serious reason (benign gynecologic indication)
- Your overall health is fairly good (ASA level I to III)
- You have not had chronic pain syndrome or long-term chronic daily pain treatment with corticosteroids (except inhaled steroids)

This study tests if numbing the top of the vagina (vaginal cuff) with a local anesthetic can reduce the need for pain medicine after a hysterectomy done by laparoscopy (small cuts in the belly). If you are having this surgery for a non-cancerous condition or cancer, you may be able to join.
This study compares two different ways to manage pain after abdominal hysterectomy surgery. The goal is to see which method helps you recover better and feel more comfortable.
This trial compares two different pain relief methods for women having abdominal hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus through a cut in the belly). It may help find a better way to manage pain after surgery.
This trial tests a new way to manage pain during an office hysteroscopy. It aims to make the procedure more comfortable for patients who are having a simple diagnostic look or small polyp removal.
This study tests how well sensory tests and pain mapping can predict recovery after lung surgery. If you are a man scheduled for minimally invasive lung surgery, you may be able to join to help doctors understand and manage post-surgery pain better.
This study looks at how central sensitization—a condition where your nervous system stays on high alert—affects endometriosis pain. Researchers will check your pain scores before and after surgery to see if pain gets better.
