Comparing nerve blocks for pain after gynecological surgery
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests two different types of nerve blocks (called 'plain blocks') to see which one works better for controlling pain after major gynecological surgery. You would receive one of the blocks before surgery, and then use a pump you control to get extra pain medicine as needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 69 years old.
- You are scheduled for major gynecological abdominal surgery (like a hysterectomy or ovarian surgery).
- Your overall health is classified as ASA 1 (healthy) or ASA 2 (mild systemic disease).
- You do not have a bleeding disorder and are not taking blood-thinning medications.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 40.
- You are not allergic to any of the study drugs (local anesthetics, opioids, etc.) and you are willing to use a Patient-Controlled Analgesia (PCA) pump after surgery.

This study tests two different numbing techniques (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain relief after minimally invasive chest surgery. Both methods inject medicine near nerves to reduce post-surgery pain.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (erector spinae and retrolaminar) for pain relief after cesarean delivery. Researchers want to see which one helps women recover better using a special questionnaire about how they feel after surgery.
This trial compares two types of numbing injections (ESP block and TAP block) to see which provides better pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. If you're having this surgery, the results could help improve how your pain is managed afterward.
This trial looks at two different pain-blocking injections (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain after keyhole stomach cancer surgery. If you are having this type of surgery, joining could help us learn which block gives you better pain relief.
This trial compares two different numbing blocks (TAP block vs. M-TAPA block) to see which one gives better pain relief after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. If you are having this type of surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial is comparing two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) used for pain relief after keyhole (laparoscopic) abdominal surgery. The goal is to see which block works better to control pain and help you recover faster.
