Simple injection may ease pain after hysterectomy surgery
NCT ID NCT07435909
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether injecting the local anesthetic bupivacaine into the small surgical cuts and the vaginal cuff at the end of a laparoscopic hysterectomy can lower postoperative pain. 120 women having the surgery for non-cancer reasons will be randomly assigned to receive the injection or standard care. Pain levels will be measured over the first 24 hours.
What this could mean

- bupivacaine
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a simple way to reduce pain and speed recovery after laparoscopic hysterectomy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with no blinding of surgeons, and results may not apply to all patients. Pain relief may be modest.
