Pain medicine options for recovery after laparoscopic hysterectomy
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study compares general anesthesia alone to two types of combined anesthesia (general plus spinal) to see which reduces the amount of opioid painkillers needed during and after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. It may help patients recover with less reliance on strong pain medications.
This study compares two drugs, esmolol and dexmedetomidine, to see which one better reduces the need for strong painkillers after laparoscopic hysterectomy. It may help you manage pain with fewer opioids.
This study tests whether an injection of numbing medicine around a muscle in your lower back (called a quadratus lumborum block) can reduce the amount of opioid painkillers you need after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. If you qualify, you may have less pain and fewer side effects after surgery.
