Numbing shot for gender-affirming surgery pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a numbing shot given during penile inversion vaginoplasty to see if it reduces pain after surgery. It might help people manage pain with less need for strong painkillers.

This trial studies whether injecting a numbing medication (bupivacaine) during surgery can reduce pain after the procedure and in the long term. It is for women who are having a TVT or TVT-O surgery to treat stress urinary incontinence.
This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine (local anesthetic) at the surgery site helps reduce pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. If effective, it could offer a simple way to improve comfort after your operation.
This Phase 3 study tests ways to manage pain during and after gender-affirming surgery while using less opioid medicine. It may help improve comfort after surgery and reduce opioid-related side effects.
