Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a medication called acetazolamide given before surgery to see if it can help prevent shoulder pain after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. If you are a woman scheduled for this type of hysterectomy, you may be able to join.

This study compares two types of pain medicine given during laparoscopic hysterectomy: one is a morphine shot into the spine, the other is numbing medicine injected around the surgery cuts and into the belly. The goal is to see which helps you recover better and with less pain.
This study compares two pain medicines, oxycodone and sufentanil, given through a pump you control after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This trial tests if injecting a numbing medicine called bupivacaine into the abdomen during surgery can reduce pain after a laparoscopic hysterectomy (uterus removal through small cuts). It may help you recover with less discomfort.
This trial tests two different pain relief methods after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery to see which works better and causes fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication mixed with a steroid into the surgical area before making cuts can reduce pain after common laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover with less pain and fewer pain medications.
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.
