Ketamine and dexmedetomidine for pain after hysterectomy
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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 tests two medications, dexmedetomidine and ketamine, to see which one works better for pain after a planned C-section. If you're having a scheduled C-section and are generally healthy, this trial could help find better pain relief options.
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.
This trial tests adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to the numbing IV used during knee surgery. It aims to see if it provides better pain relief after surgery under spinal anesthesia.
This trial studies whether a specific numbing/comfort medicine (dexmedetomidine) injected into the wound area during a C-section can improve recovery or reduce symptoms after surgery. You may be able to take part if you are a low-risk pregnancy and meet safety requirements.
This study tests two different pain-relief medicines added to a numbing shot (nerve block) given during hysterectomy surgery. The goal is to see which one works better so you can have less pain after your operation.
This study compares two types of general anesthesia for laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery: one that uses opioids (strong painkillers) and one that avoids them. The goal is to see which approach leads to a better recovery experience after surgery.
