Opioid use after fallopian tube removal surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how much opioid pain medicine people need after having their fallopian tubes removed through small incisions (laparoscopic or robotic salpingectomy). It aims to see if the usual pain medicine can be reduced to decrease opioid use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have at least one fallopian tube (they can remove one or both).
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You are having a laparoscopic or robotic surgery to remove your fallopian tubes or another similar sterilization procedure – this is the main reason for your surgery.
- The surgery is for a non-cancer (benign) reason, like birth control.
- You don't have chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia.
- You are not currently on long-term opioid pain medication (more than 3 months).
- You are not allergic to acetaminophen (Tylenol) or oxycodone.
- Your surgery is not being done for an ectopic pregnancy or along with a major surgery like a hysterectomy.
- You don't have a history of gastritis or GI bleeding.

This study compares two different gas pressures used during laparoscopic surgery to see if lower pressure reduces shoulder pain afterward. It may help if you're having surgery to remove an ovary, fallopian tube, or ovarian cyst.
This study looks at removing fallopian tubes during other planned surgeries to help prevent ovarian cancer. You may be able to join if you are at least 45 years old, are female or assigned female at birth, and are having non-gynecologic surgery (like gallbladder or hernia repair).
This trial compares two different amounts of opioid pain pills after surgery for women with pelvic floor problems. The goal is to see if a lower dose still provides good pain relief and keeps patients satisfied.
This study tests whether a single dose of methadone given during minimally invasive hysterectomy (for non-cancer reasons) can reduce the need for opioid pain pills after surgery. It aims to see if this approach helps with pain control and lessens opioid use.
This study tests two different methods of washing the abdomen after laparoscopic surgery on the ovaries or fallopian tubes to see which one reduces pain more. It may help find a better way to manage pain after surgery.
