Painkiller effects on anxiety after ectopic pregnancy surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether different doses of a pain medicine called nalbuphine given through a pain pump after surgery can reduce anxiety and depression in women having surgery for an ectopic pregnancy. If you are having this surgery, the study aims to improve your emotional recovery and comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

This study compares two pain-relieving medicines, pregabalin and gabapentin, given before surgery to older adults having abdominal or pelvic surgery. The goal is to see which one works better and is safer for managing pain in this age group.
This trial tests a long-acting painkiller, Naldebain, for women having a planned C-section. It aims to see if it provides better pain control after the surgery.
This trial compares two pain relievers, hydromorphone and nalbuphine, given through a patient-controlled pump after cesarean section. It aims to find which provides better pain control with fewer side effects.
This study looks at how to better manage pain after a C-section using spinal anesthesia and either a patient-controlled IV pain pump or a specific pain medicine (naldebaein). You may be able to join if you’re scheduled for a C-section at 37–40 weeks and can take the usual pain medicines.
This study tests whether a lower dose of a pain medicine called pregabalin works as well as the standard dose for controlling pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. The goal is to see if it can reduce pain and the need for stronger painkillers after your operation.
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.
