Pain relief study after vaginal surgery using witch hazel and spray
Part of Injuries & trauma, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a pain relief routine using witch hazel pads and a numbing spray after vaginal surgery. The goal is to see if using these products together helps with recovery and reduces the need for stronger pain medicine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether applying ice packs to the abdomen after a minimally invasive hysterectomy (removal of the uterus through the vagina) helps reduce pain and speed recovery. You would be randomly assigned to either receive ice pack treatment or standard care.
This trial tests whether papaverine, a medication that relaxes muscles, can reduce tearing and injury to the perineum (the area between the vagina and rectum) during vaginal birth. If it works, it could help first-time mothers heal better after delivery.
This study tests whether injecting the numbing medicine bupivacaine during sling surgery for stress incontinence can reduce pain right after surgery and for months afterward. It is a randomized double-blind trial, meaning neither you nor your doctor will know if you received bupivacaine or a placebo.
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 two numbing medicines (lidocaine and bupivacaine) to see which works better for pain after a cut (episiotomy) during childbirth. If you are having your first baby and deliver vaginally with an episiotomy, you may be able to join and receive a local injection for pain relief.
This study compares sitz baths to regular care after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. It aims to see if sitz baths can help reduce pain and improve recovery. If you are having prolapse repair surgery, you may be able to join.
