Pain relief after hysterectomy: nerve block vs spinal morphine
Treatments studied
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after open abdominal hysterectomy: a nerve block (rectus sheath block) or morphine given through a spinal injection. The goal is to find which method works better with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two types of nerve-blocking injections given during abdominal hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) to reduce pain and opioid use after surgery. The goal is to help you recover more comfortably with fewer strong pain medications.
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 different ways to manage pain after abdominal hysterectomy surgery. The goal is to see which method helps you recover better and feel more comfortable.
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 compares two ways to manage pain after open inguinal hernia repair: a nerve block (injection near the abdominal muscles) versus a low-dose painkiller (morphine) given through the spinal needle. The goal is to find which method provides better relief with fewer side effects.
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.
