First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a numbing medicine injected around the cervix during vaginal hysterectomy for prolapse can lower pain and reduce the need for strong opioid painkillers afterward. About 56 participants will receive either the numbing medicine or a placebo (saltwater) injection while asleep. They will track their pain and medication use for a week and complete recovery questionnaires.
