Breathing gas and nausea after hysterectomy study
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether levels of carbon dioxide in your breath and blood flow measurements during surgery can help predict nausea, vomiting, or pain after a hysterectomy. It may help doctors better manage your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a total laparoscopic hysterectomy (a minimally invasive surgery to remove the uterus).

This trial tests whether breathing in cold steam can help reduce nausea and vomiting after abdominal surgery. If you are having laparoscopic surgery and have only mild or no nausea afterwards, you may be eligible to try this simple treatment.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia—total intravenous (TIVA) versus inhaled gas—to see which one causes less nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic surgery in women. It may help choose the best option for your recovery.
This trial compares two different gas pressure levels used during laparoscopic hysterectomy (a minimally invasive surgery to remove the uterus) to see which one causes less pain after the procedure. It may help you and your doctor choose the best pressure for your surgery.
This study tests two techniques during a vNOTES hysterectomy to see if they reduce pain after surgery. One technique uses lower gas pressure in the belly, and the other rinses the belly with saline.
This study tests whether using laughing gas (nitrous oxide) plus a calming video on a screen can reduce pain and anxiety during a quick procedure to look inside the uterus (hysteroscopy). If you are having this procedure, the trial may help you feel more comfortable.
