Common supplement may cut opioid need after hysterectomy
NCT ID NCT06039566
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving n-acetylcysteine (NAC) during hysterectomy surgery can lower the amount of opioids needed for pain afterward. About 240 women having laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy will receive either NAC or a placebo. Researchers will track pain scores and opioid use for 72 hours after surgery to see if NAC helps ease pain with fewer opioids.
