Spinal morphine may boost recovery after keyhole gynecologic surgery
NCT ID NCT07322029
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a single spinal injection of morphine to a standard abdominal wall nerve block improves recovery in women undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. About 252 women will be randomly assigned to receive either the spinal morphine plus the nerve block or the nerve block alone. The goal is to see if the combination reduces pain and the need for opioid painkillers, leading to a better overall recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- morphine
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a better pain management strategy that helps women recover faster and with fewer side effects after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (252 participants) that has not yet started recruiting. The benefits seen may not apply to all patients, and intrathecal morphine carries risks like headache, itching, or rare serious side effects.
