Comparing anesthesia with and without opioids for hysterectomy recovery
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests two types of anesthesia for laparoscopic hysterectomy: one that uses opioids (strong painkillers) and one that avoids them. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover better after surgery.
