Methadone during hysterectomy to reduce pain pills
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving methadone during hip or knee replacement surgery can reduce pain after surgery. It may help some people use less rescue pain medicine afterward, but it also has safety checks for kidney, liver, heart, and opioid-related risks.
This trial tests whether methadone—a strong pain medication—helps manage pain better after intermediate-complexity surgery. If it works, it could reduce pain and the need for other opioids after your operation.
This study tests whether giving methadone during and after major spine surgery can help reduce the need for other opioid pain medicines later. It is for adults having multilevel fusion in the lower or mid-back.
This trial tests if methadone given through a vein can control pain better after heart surgery done through a breastbone incision. It may be an option for adults having planned heart surgery who are expected to wake up and breathe on their own within 12 hours.
This trial tests if giving a single dose of methadone right before and during spine surgery can help manage pain better. If it works, you might need fewer other pain medicines after surgery.
This study tests whether a single dose of methadone given during hip replacement surgery can better control pain and reduce the need for other opioid painkillers afterward. It may help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
