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 numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before laparoscopic gynecologic surgery to see which provides better pain relief after the operation. It aims to help patients have less pain and a smoother recovery.
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 study compares two types of nerve blocks for reducing pain after hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus). The goal is to find out which block provides better pain relief, so you may have less discomfort and need fewer painkillers after surgery.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during hysterectomy surgery to see which one provides better pain relief afterward. You would receive one of the two injections, and neither carries extra risk beyond the standard procedure.
This study compares two types of pain blocks used during hysterectomy surgery to see which provides better pain relief. The blocks are given before surgery to numb the belly area, and the study aims to find which one helps patients feel better after the operation.
