Analgesic placed inside the belly for after-surgery pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether placing a pain medicine inside the abdomen during hysterectomy can reduce postoperative pain. It targets people having specific types of minimally invasive hysterectomy for non-cancer reasons.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning a hysterectomy for a non-cancer gynecologic problem (like fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic pain, or abnormal bleeding).
- Your surgery is planned at a study site by a specialized minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) team.
- Your planned operation is either robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy (RA-TLH) or laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH).
- You can give informed consent and complete study questionnaires.
- You are not allergic to ketorolac or ropivacaine (study medicines).
- You are not enrolled in another pain-treatment study.

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 trial looks at how to reduce pain after a C-section (cesarean delivery). You may be able to join if you’re having a scheduled or urgent C-section and can use the planned pain-control method.
This Phase 3 study tests whether a preventive numbing medicine injection before a vaginal hysterectomy (using the vNOTES approach) can reduce pain afterward. It may help with comfort and recovery after surgery for non-cancer reasons.
This study tests if giving oxytocin (a natural hormone) through an IV can help reduce pain after a minimally invasive hysterectomy. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if placing small tubes near your surgical wound can provide better pain control after a midline abdominal incision. It may help you recover more comfortably.
This trial tests if injecting a numbing medicine called bupivacaine into the abdomen during surgery can reduce pain after a laparoscopic hysterectomy (uterus removal through small cuts). It may help you recover with less discomfort.
