Which nerve block better covers hysterectomy incision pain?
NCT ID NCT07260396
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two types of nerve blocks—TAP and rectus sheath—used to manage pain after a hysterectomy through a bikini-line cut. Researchers will measure how much of the incision each block numbs and compare pain scores and morphine use. About 30 women having planned surgery will take part to help doctors choose the best pain relief method.
