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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a nerve block (called a quadratus lumborum block) given before a laparoscopic hysterectomy can reduce the amount of strong pain medicine (opioids) you need after surgery. It may help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
This study tests how well a nerve-numbing injection (called a QL block) relieves pain. Researchers will measure how quickly the pain relief works and how long it lasts, which could help doctors use this technique better in the future.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (QL block vs TAP block) to see which one provides better pain relief after lower abdominal surgery. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join and receive one of these blocks to help manage your pain.
This trial tests if spraying lidocaine (a numbing medicine) inside the belly along with lidocaine given through an IV can lower pain after surgery to remove uterine fibroids. It may help you have less pain and recover more comfortably.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery to remove a kidney. The blocks are injected near the spine to numb the area and may reduce the need for pain medications.
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.
