Nerve Blocks for Pain Relief During Hysterectomy Surgery
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests two types of nerve-blocking injections given during abdominal hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) to reduce pain and opioid use after surgery. The goal is to help you recover more comfortably with fewer strong pain medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for abdominal hysterectomy under general anesthesia (sleeping medication)
- You have no allergy to local anesthetics (numbing medications like lidocaine)
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners that cannot be safely paused
- You have no active infection or skin condition at the lower belly where injections would be given
- Your heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys are functioning well enough for surgery

This trial tests a pain-relief technique called a nerve block during minimally invasive surgery to remove colorectal cancer. The block numbs nerves in the lower abdomen to potentially reduce pain and improve recovery after surgery.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during hysterectomy surgery to see which one provides better pain relief afterward. You would receive one of the two injections, and neither carries extra risk beyond the standard procedure.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (with numbing medicine) to reduce pain during and after tummy tuck surgery. The goal is to see if combining two blocks works better than one block alone.
This study compares two types of pain-relieving nerve blocks given after laparoscopic hysterectomy, each aimed at reducing the need for strong painkillers. If you are having this surgery, it might help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways to reduce pain after a hysterectomy: a standard nerve block with bupivacaine (a numbing medicine) versus the same block plus ketamine (a medicine that can boost pain relief). The goal is to see if adding ketamine provides better comfort after surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for reducing pain after hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus). The goal is to find out which block provides better pain relief, so you may have less discomfort and need fewer painkillers after surgery.
