Comparing anesthesia types to reduce opioids in hysterectomy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares general anesthesia alone to two types of combined anesthesia (general plus spinal) to see which reduces the amount of opioid painkillers needed during and after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. It may help patients recover with less reliance on strong pain medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a laparoscopic hysterectomy (minimally invasive removal of the uterus), with or without removing the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
- You do not have conditions that make spinal anesthesia unsafe (like bleeding disorders, nerve problems, or infections near the surgery site).
- You do not have chronic pain or a history of taking painkillers (opioids) regularly.
- You are willing and able to give your consent.

This study compares two pain medicines, oxycodone and sufentanil, given through a pump you control after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of pain medicine given during laparoscopic hysterectomy: one is a morphine shot into the spine, the other is numbing medicine injected around the surgery cuts and into the belly. The goal is to see which helps you recover better and with less pain.
This study compares two drugs, esmolol and dexmedetomidine, to see which one better reduces the need for strong painkillers after laparoscopic hysterectomy. It may help you manage pain with fewer opioids.
This study tests two types of anesthesia for laparoscopic hysterectomy: one that uses opioids (strong painkillers) and one that avoids them. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover better after surgery.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for women having laparoscopic hysterectomy (uterus removal through small cuts). It aims to see which method provides better pain control and recovery.
This study compares two different ways to manage pain after abdominal hysterectomy surgery. The goal is to see which method helps you recover better and feel more comfortable.
