NCT ID NCT05656872
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for pain after open hysterectomy: the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and the ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric (IIH) block. 42 adults having elective surgery were randomly assigned to one block. The main goal was to see which block delayed the need for rescue pain medication longer. The study also measured total painkiller use and pain scores.

What this could lead to
If one nerve block proves better, it could improve pain control after hysterectomy and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 42 participants. Results may not apply to all patients or surgeries, and nerve blocks carry rare risks like infection or bleeding.
