Muscle relaxant for pain after minimally invasive hysterectomy
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a muscle relaxant called cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) to standard pain care can improve pain relief after minimally invasive hysterectomy. It aims to help you recover with less pain and may reduce the need for stronger pain medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You speak English.

- You have no allergies or medical conditions that prevent you from taking standard pain medicines or cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril).
- You do not have chronic pain that is being treated, and you do not take opioids on a regular basis.

This study compares two different ways to manage pain after abdominal hysterectomy surgery. The goal is to see which method helps you recover better and feel more comfortable.
This trial tests if injecting a numbing medicine called bupivacaine into the abdomen during surgery can reduce pain after a laparoscopic hysterectomy (uterus removal through small cuts). It may help you recover with less discomfort.
