Nerve block may cut opioid needs after hysterectomy
NCT ID NCT07046949
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a nerve block called the anterior quadratus lumborum block, given before surgery, can reduce pain and the need for opioids in women undergoing abdominal hysterectomy. 56 participants were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block plus standard care or standard care alone. The researchers measured pain levels, opioid use, and recovery quality after surgery.
