Numbing injection to reduce pain after incontinence sling surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
