Can a simple injection ease pain after keyhole pelvic surgery?

NCT ID NCT07440576

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) into the cervix area during vNOTES surgery can reduce pain afterward. 58 women with pelvic organ prolapse will receive either the numbing drug or a placebo (salt water). The main goal is to see if pain scores are lower 6 hours after surgery. If successful, this could mean less pain and less need for strong painkillers after the procedure.
