Pain relief comparison for hysterectomy surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two different pain-relieving medicines (dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulfate) when added to the standard numbing medicine used in a nerve block for abdominal hysterectomy. The goal is to see which one provides better pain control after surgery.

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.
This study tests two pain medicines given through an IV during vaginal hysterectomy to see if they improve pain relief after surgery. It aims to reduce pain and improve recovery.
This study tests two ways of giving magnesium (a mineral that can help with pain) during surgery to remove the uterus. One method is a shot into the spinal fluid, and the other is through an IV. The goal is to see which method reduces pain after the surgery.
This study compares two medicines, dexmedetomidine and ketamine, added to a numbing block (TAP block) to see which provides better pain relief after hysterectomy surgery. If you participate, you may experience more effective pain control and a smoother recovery.
This study compares two ways to reduce pain after a hysterectomy: a standard nerve block with bupivacaine (a numbing medicine) versus the same block plus ketamine (a medicine that can boost pain relief). The goal is to see if adding ketamine provides better comfort after surgery.
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.
