ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effectiveness of three different methods for managing pain after a total abdominal hysterectomy, which is a surgery to remove the uterus. The researchers are comparing a specific type of pain relief called a TAP block, a medication called intrathecal morphine, and a combination of both. They want to see how well these methods help with pain by looking at how long it takes for patients to ask for pain medicine, their pain levels, how much pain medicine they use, when they can start moving around after surgery, and if there are any complications.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be women between the ages of 30 and 70 who are scheduled to have this surgery and are in generally good health. They should also be willing to provide informed consent, which means they understand the study and agree to participate. However, those who have allergies to the medications being studied, certain health issues, or infections at the injection site cannot participate. If you join this trial, you can expect close monitoring for your pain management and overall recovery following your surgery.
