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 for reducing pain after hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus). The goal is to find out which block provides better pain relief, so you may have less discomfort and need fewer painkillers after surgery.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during hysterectomy surgery to see which one provides better pain relief afterward. You would receive one of the two injections, and neither carries extra risk beyond the standard procedure.
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 compares two types of pain-relieving nerve blocks given after laparoscopic hysterectomy, each aimed at reducing the need for strong painkillers. If you are having this surgery, it might help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
This study tests two types of nerve-blocking injections given during abdominal hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) to reduce pain and opioid use after surgery. The goal is to help you recover more comfortably with fewer strong pain medications.
