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 compares two common pain-relieving medications (lidocaine and magnesium sulfate) given during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery for infertility. The goal is to see which one keeps your heart rate and blood pressure more stable as you wake up from anesthesia, helping you recover more smoothly.
This study tests two different medicines added to a numbing injection (called a TAP block) given after cesarean section to see which provides better pain relief. If you are having a planned C-section, this could help improve your comfort after delivery.
