New nerve block aims to cut opioid use after hysterectomy
NCT ID NCT07483190
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special nerve block called M-TAPA can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after laparoscopic hysterectomy. Sixty women having the surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or standard care. Researchers will measure how much morphine they use and their pain scores in the first 24 hours.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bupivacaine
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this nerve block could become a standard way to reduce pain and opioid use after hysterectomy, leading to faster recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial (60 people) testing a specific procedure. Results may not apply to all patients or surgeries, and the block may not reduce pain significantly.
