Can tylenol and advil replace opioids after tubal ligation?
NCT ID NCT06434233
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two pain management plans after laparoscopic tubal sterilization: one with opioids and one without. About 38 women will report their pain levels and satisfaction. The goal is to see if non-opioid drugs like Tylenol and ibuprofen work just as well.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, and Oxycodone
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that non-opioid painkillers are enough for pain after tubal sterilization, reducing the need for opioid prescriptions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 38 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Pain is subjective, and some people may still need opioids.
