Nerve block comparison for pain after hysterectomy
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks — one in the back (erector spinae plane block) and one in the lower belly area (iliohypogastric/ilioinguinal block) — to see which provides better pain relief after hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus). Both are numbing injections given before surgery to reduce pain afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two different nerve block techniques to see which one works better for managing pain after a total abdominal hysterectomy. If you are scheduled for this surgery and are generally healthy, you may be able to join and help find better ways to control pain.
This study tests two types of nerve-blocking injections given during abdominal hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) to reduce pain and opioid use after surgery. The goal is to help you recover more comfortably with fewer strong pain medications.
This trial compares a targeted pain-relief injection near the lower back (a “nerve block”) to a sham (placebo-like) procedure during recovery from a total laparoscopic hysterectomy. It aims to see whether the real block reduces post-operative pain.
This study compares two different nerve-blocking injection techniques to help manage pain after laparoscopic hysterectomy (removal of the uterus through small incisions). Both methods numb the area around the spine to reduce post-surgery pain without relying only on strong painkillers.
This study compares two ways to reduce pain after a hysterectomy: a standard nerve block with bupivacaine (a numbing medicine) versus the same block plus ketamine (a medicine that can boost pain relief). The goal is to see if adding ketamine provides better comfort after surgery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (anterior iliac block and ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric block) to see which provides better pain relief after inguinal hernia surgery. If you are having this surgery, joining could help doctors understand the best way to manage your pain.
