NAC vs placebo for pain after hysterectomy
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if a medicine called N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can reduce the need for strong pain pills after hysterectomy surgery. If you are having a laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy, this study may help you recover with less opioid pain medicine.
