New study aims to ease hysterectomy pain without opioids
NCT ID NCT07480499
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks—erector spinae plane block and quadratus lumborum block—to see which provides better pain relief after total abdominal hysterectomy. Sixty women aged 35-60 will receive one of the blocks with a numbing medicine. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for opioid drugs, which can cause side effects like nausea and drowsiness.
