Low-dose pain study for pelvic surgery recovery
This study tests whether using a lower dose of a numbing medicine during laparoscopic pelvic surgery helps control pain after surgery with fewer side effects. It may help you recover with less discomfort if you are having this type of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic uterosacral suspension (a surgery to support the uterus or top of the vagina).
- You may also be having other pelvic surgery at the same time, like prolapse repair, hysterectomy, or anti-incontinence surgery.
- You are not having other non-pelvic procedures or surgery that requires a large belly incision.

This trial tests if a numbing injection in the cervix area can reduce pain after minimally invasive prolapse surgery. If you're having this surgery, the study may help determine if the shot makes recovery more comfortable.
This trial compares using lower gas pressure during minimally invasive gynecologic surgery to the standard pressure. The goal is to see if lower pressure reduces pain and speeds recovery after surgery.
This trial compares two different amounts of opioid pain pills after surgery for women with pelvic floor problems. The goal is to see if a lower dose still provides good pain relief and keeps patients satisfied.
This study compares a lower dose (82.5 mg) of pregabalin (a nerve pain medication) to a standard dose (165 mg) to see if it works just as well for pain after keyhole abdominal surgery. The goal is to reduce the need for stronger painkillers like opioids.
This study compares two different gas pressures used during laparoscopic surgery to see if lower pressure reduces shoulder pain afterward. It may help if you're having surgery to remove an ovary, fallopian tube, or ovarian cyst.
This trial compares two different gas pressure levels used during laparoscopic hysterectomy (a minimally invasive surgery to remove the uterus) to see which one causes less pain after the procedure. It may help you and your doctor choose the best pressure for your surgery.
