Nerve block versus sham block after hysterectomy
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares a targeted pain-relief injection near the lower back (a “nerve block”) to a sham (placebo-like) procedure during recovery from a total laparoscopic hysterectomy. It aims to see whether the real block reduces post-operative pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for a total laparoscopic hysterectomy
- You have not previously had a procedure called a presacral neurectomy
- You are not planning any other major surgery at the same time (other than fallopian tube and/or ovarian removal)
- You do not have any advanced gynecologic cancer (beyond stage 1)
- Your BMI is 50 or less and you are not a chronic opioid user

This study compares different nerve blocks for pain control after a planned cesarean delivery. The goal is to find which block provides the best pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks — one in the back (erector spinae plane block) and one in the lower belly area (iliohypogastric/ilioinguinal block) — to see which provides better pain relief after hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus). Both are numbing injections given before surgery to reduce pain afterward.
This study compares two different nerve-blocking injection techniques to help manage pain after laparoscopic hysterectomy (removal of the uterus through small incisions). Both methods numb the area around the spine to reduce post-surgery pain without relying only on strong painkillers.
This study compares two ways to reduce pain after a hysterectomy: a standard nerve block with bupivacaine (a numbing medicine) versus the same block plus ketamine (a medicine that can boost pain relief). The goal is to see if adding ketamine provides better comfort after surgery.
This study tests whether a nerve block before surgery can reduce pain after a laparoscopic hysterectomy for non-cancer reasons.
This study tests two different nerve block techniques to see which one works better for managing pain after a total abdominal hysterectomy. If you are scheduled for this surgery and are generally healthy, you may be able to join and help find better ways to control pain.
