Pain relief without opioids for hysterectomy recovery
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of general anesthesia for laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery: one that uses opioids (strong painkillers) and one that avoids them. The goal is to see which approach leads to a better recovery experience after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a laparoscopic hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus through small cuts in the belly) under general anesthesia.
- You are between 40 and 65 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 35 (your weight is in a healthy range for your height).
- You are in good health overall (classified as ASA I or II, meaning you have no or only mild medical conditions).
- You do not have severe liver or kidney problems, and you are not allergic to any of the study medications.

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 a pain management approach that avoids strong painkillers (opioids) during and after gynecological surgery. It uses a numbing injection in the belly wall and a medicine called dexmedetomidine to control pain instead.
This trial tests a type of anesthesia that uses fewer strong painkillers (opioids) to see if it helps patients recover better after emergency abdominal surgery. It may reduce side effects like nausea and drowsiness.
This study compares general anesthesia alone to two types of combined anesthesia (general plus spinal) to see which reduces the amount of opioid painkillers needed during and after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. It may help patients recover with less reliance on strong pain medications.
This study compares two types of pain medicine given during laparoscopic hysterectomy: one is a morphine shot into the spine, the other is numbing medicine injected around the surgery cuts and into the belly. The goal is to see which helps you recover better and with less pain.
This study tests if a completely opioid-free anesthesia approach works as well as standard general anesthesia for people having laparoscopic or robotic urological surgery. It aims to offer effective pain control without using strong opioid painkillers.
