Pain relief after hysterectomy: comparing two nerve blocks
Treatments studied
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests two different nerve block techniques to see which one works better for managing pain after a total abdominal hysterectomy. If you are scheduled for this surgery and are generally healthy, you may be able to join and help find better ways to control pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 35 and 60 years old.
- You are scheduled for a total abdominal hysterectomy under general anesthesia (you will be asleep during surgery).
- You are generally healthy or have only mild health issues (ASA physical status I or II).
- You do not have an allergy to numbing medicines called local anesthetics.
- You do not have an infection where the injection would be given.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners, and you are not severely obese (BMI over 35).

This study compares two different injection techniques to help manage pain after you have your uterus surgically removed. Both techniques use ultrasound (sound waves) to guide where the numbing medicine is placed near your spine, and researchers want to see which works better for pain relief.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks — one in the back (erector spinae plane block) and one in the lower belly area (iliohypogastric/ilioinguinal block) — to see which provides better pain relief after hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus). Both are numbing injections given before surgery to reduce pain afterward.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (erector spinae block and quadratus lumborum block) to see which provides better pain control and satisfaction after a planned c-section. The goal is to find a more effective pain relief option for new mothers.
This study tests whether a nerve block (called a quadratus lumborum block) given before a laparoscopic hysterectomy can reduce the amount of strong pain medicine (opioids) you need after surgery. It may help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
This trial compares two nerve-block techniques (Quadratus Lumborum block vs. Transversalis Fascia block) to control pain after inguinal hernia surgery. It aims to find which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
This trial tests which nerve block works better for pain after open inguinal hernia repair. It compares a block in the lower back (quadratus lumborum) with a block in the groin area (combined groin nerves) to see which provides better pain relief.
