Cyclobenzaprine for pain after keyhole hysterectomy
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if adding a muscle relaxant called cyclobenzaprine to standard pain medicine can improve pain control after a minimally invasive hysterectomy. It aims to reduce the need for stronger painkillers and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a single dose of methadone given during minimally invasive hysterectomy (for non-cancer reasons) can reduce the need for opioid pain pills after surgery. It aims to see if this approach helps with pain control and lessens opioid use.
This study tests if numbing the top of the vagina (vaginal cuff) with a local anesthetic can reduce the need for pain medicine after a hysterectomy done by laparoscopy (small cuts in the belly). If you are having this surgery for a non-cancerous condition or cancer, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether placing a pain medicine inside the abdomen during hysterectomy can reduce postoperative pain. It targets people having specific types of minimally invasive hysterectomy for non-cancer reasons.
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.
This study tests if giving oxytocin (a natural hormone) through an IV can help reduce pain after a minimally invasive hysterectomy. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a medicine called tizanidine to see if it helps with pain after pelvic surgery. It may help reduce the need for opioids.
