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 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 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 different ways to manage pain after abdominal hysterectomy surgery. The goal is to see which method helps you recover better and feel more comfortable.
This study tests whether giving morphine into the spinal fluid during surgery can help you feel better and recover more comfortably after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. It may also reduce the need for other pain medicines.
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.
