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 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 tests whether a nerve block before surgery can reduce pain after a laparoscopic hysterectomy for non-cancer reasons.
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 study compares two different nerve-blocking injection techniques to help manage pain after laparoscopic hysterectomy (removal of the uterus through small incisions). Both methods numb the area around the spine to reduce post-surgery pain without relying only on strong painkillers.
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.
