Pain relief without opioids for gynecological surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a pain management approach that avoids strong painkillers (opioids) during and after gynecological surgery. It uses a numbing injection in the belly wall and a medicine called dexmedetomidine to control pain instead.

This study tests if a completely opioid-free anesthesia approach works as well as standard general anesthesia for people having laparoscopic or robotic urological surgery. It aims to offer effective pain control without using strong opioid painkillers.
This study is testing if two medicines, dexmedetomidine and ketamine, given through an IV help reduce pain after a vaginal hysterectomy. It may help you feel less pain and need fewer painkillers after surgery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during weight-loss surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) without using opioid drugs. One method uses a nerve block (paravertebral block) and the other uses a combination of non-opioid medications. The goal is to see which approach reduces pain and side effects better.
