Comparing two medicines to reduce pain medicine use after laparoscopic hysterectomy
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two drugs, esmolol and dexmedetomidine, to see which one better reduces the need for strong painkillers after laparoscopic hysterectomy. It may help you manage pain with fewer opioids.

This study compares two pain medicines, oxycodone and sufentanil, given through a pump you control after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether adding a drug called dexmedetomidine during your surgery can reduce the amount of remifentanil (a strong painkiller) you need. This might help you recover more comfortably after laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
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 compares two medications, dexmedetomidine and lignocaine, to see which works better for pain management during and after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help improve comfort and recovery for people having this surgery.
This study tests two pain medicines given through an IV during vaginal hysterectomy to see if they improve pain relief after surgery. It aims to reduce pain and improve recovery.
