Pain relief after a hysterectomy
Treatments studied
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if numbing the top of the vagina (vaginal cuff) with a local anesthetic can reduce the need for pain medicine after a hysterectomy done by laparoscopy (small cuts in the belly). If you are having this surgery for a non-cancerous condition or cancer, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You need to have a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) through small incisions in the belly (laparoscopic).
- You may also have your fallopian tubes and ovaries removed.
- You do not need to have the surgery changed to a larger cut (open surgery).
- You cannot have had many abdominal or pelvic surgeries in the past.
- You do not have serious heart problems or take strong pain medicine before surgery.

This study compares two types of general anesthesia for laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery: one that uses opioids (strong painkillers) and one that avoids them. The goal is to see which approach leads to a better recovery experience after surgery.
This study compares two different injection techniques to help manage pain after you have your uterus surgically removed. Both techniques use ultrasound (sound waves) to guide where the numbing medicine is placed near your spine, and researchers want to see which works better for pain relief.
This study tests whether placing a pain medicine inside the abdomen during hysterectomy can reduce postoperative pain. It targets people having specific types of minimally invasive hysterectomy for non-cancer reasons.
This trial tests if injecting a numbing medicine called bupivacaine into the abdomen during surgery can reduce pain after a laparoscopic hysterectomy (uterus removal through small cuts). It may help you recover with less discomfort.
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 Phase 3 study tests whether a preventive numbing medicine injection before a vaginal hysterectomy (using the vNOTES approach) can reduce pain afterward. It may help with comfort and recovery after surgery for non-cancer reasons.
