Reducing gas pressure and saline rinse to ease pain after hysterectomy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a lower gas pressure during surgery and rinsing the belly with salt water can reduce pain after a vNOTES hysterectomy. If you're having this surgery, the approach might help lessen discomfort right after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had (or will have) a hysterectomy using vNOTES—a minimally invasive technique where the uterus is removed through the vagina.
- You are in generally good health, and your medical team rates you as ASA I–III (meaning mild to moderate overall health).
- You must NOT have shoulder pain, chronic pain, or be taking strong painkillers (opioids) before the surgery.
- You must NOT have an active infection, suspected cancer, or rectovaginal endometriosis.
- Your surgery must be expected to last less than 3 hours, and you can't be in another study at the same time.

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 Phase 3 study tests whether a preventive numbing medicine injection before a vaginal hysterectomy (using the vNOTES approach) can reduce pain afterward. It may help with comfort and recovery after surgery for non-cancer reasons.
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 different rinsing solutions used inside the belly during laparoscopic surgery on the ovaries or fallopian tubes to see which one causes less pain after the operation. It is a phase 4 trial, meaning the treatments are already approved but are being compared for better pain control.
This study tests whether placing a pain medicine inside the abdomen during hysterectomy can reduce postoperative pain. It targets people having specific types of minimally invasive hysterectomy for non-cancer reasons.
This study tests if giving oxytocin (a natural hormone) through an IV can help reduce pain after a minimally invasive hysterectomy. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join.
