Nerve block for pain after laparoscopic hysterectomy
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nerve block (called a quadratus lumborum block) given before a laparoscopic hysterectomy can reduce the amount of strong pain medicine (opioids) you need after surgery. It may help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have a laparoscopic hysterectomy (a hysterectomy done through small cuts in the belly).
- You can speak and understand English.
- You are eligible for care in the military health system (DEERs eligible).
- You have a phone that can receive texts or internet access to complete surveys.
- You are not currently taking opioid pain medicines, and you can safely take common pain relievers like ibuprofen, Tylenol, and oxycodone.

This trial tests a specific nerve block (anterior quadratus lumborum block) given during laparoscopic kidney surgery to see if it reduces pain and speeds recovery. It may help patients who need a nephrectomy (kidney removal) or partial nephrectomy.
This study tests whether a nerve block (QL block) can help with pain after surgery to remove uterine fibroids while keeping the uterus. It may be a good option if you are having a laparoscopic myomectomy and want to manage pain without strong opioids.
This study tests how well a nerve-numbing injection (called a QL block) relieves pain. Researchers will measure how quickly the pain relief works and how long it lasts, which could help doctors use this technique better in the future.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (QL block vs TAP block) to see which one provides better pain relief after lower abdominal surgery. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join and receive one of these blocks to help manage your pain.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. If you take part, you will receive either an ultrasound-guided M-TAPA block or a quadratus lumborum block, and the researchers will measure how well each controls your pain.
This study compares two different nerve-blocking injection techniques to help manage pain after laparoscopic hysterectomy (removal of the uterus through small incisions). Both methods numb the area around the spine to reduce post-surgery pain without relying only on strong painkillers.
