Summary

This trial tests whether adding a regional nerve block (TAP or rectus sheath block) to general anesthesia helps women sleep better after a total abdominal hysterectomy. Sleep quality is measured using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire. The study includes women aged 18–70 who are scheduled for elective surgery and can answer the questionnaire, but excludes those with sleep disorders or psychiatric conditions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
regional nerve block (TAP or rectus sheath block)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple way to help women sleep better after major gynecologic surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 66 participants. The sleep improvement may be modest or not clinically meaningful, and results may not apply to other surgeries or populations.
