Pain relief methods after hysterectomy: a recovery comparison
Treatments studied
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two different pain relief methods for women having abdominal hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus through a cut in the belly). It may help find a better way to manage pain after surgery.
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 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.
This study tests two different nerve block techniques to see which one works better for managing pain after a total abdominal hysterectomy. If you are scheduled for this surgery and are generally healthy, you may be able to join and help find better ways to control pain.
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 compares two types of nerve blocks — one in the back (erector spinae plane block) and one in the lower belly area (iliohypogastric/ilioinguinal block) — to see which provides better pain relief after hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus). Both are numbing injections given before surgery to reduce pain afterward.
