Nerve block for pain after fibroid surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nerve block (QL block) can help with pain after surgery to remove uterine fibroids while keeping the uterus. It may be a good option if you are having a laparoscopic myomectomy and want to manage pain without strong opioids.
