Pain injection for less opioid use after laparoscopic hysterectomy
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether an injection of numbing medicine around a muscle in your lower back (called a quadratus lumborum block) can reduce the amount of opioid painkillers you need after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. If you qualify, you may have less pain and fewer side effects after surgery.
