NCT ID NCT06847022
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a specific nerve block called transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) can reduce pain and the need for morphine after open gynecologic surgery. Thirty-two adults received the block with bupivacaine after their incision was closed. Researchers measured morphine use over 24 hours and checked for side effects and chronic pain.
