What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

Researchers compare general anesthesia alone with two combined general and spinal anesthesia approaches in women having laparoscopic hysterectomy. The trial measures how much morphine patients use in the first 24 and 48 hours after surgery, along with pain scores, nausea, and other side effects. About 45 patients will take part. The goal is to see which method reduces opioid consumption and improves recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
general anesthesia alone or combined with spinal anesthesia using local anesthetic, morphine, with or without fentanyl
What this could lead to
If one approach works better, it could guide anesthesia choices that reduce opioid needs and related side effects after laparoscopic hysterectomy.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and early, so results may not apply broadly. Spinal anesthesia carries risks like low blood pressure, and individual responses vary.

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 45 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.
