QL Block in Laparoscopic Myomectomy for Postoperative Pain
This study is looking at whether an injection called a QL block can help reduce pain after laparoscopic myomectomy surgery for uterine fibroids. A QL block involves injecting Bupivacaine (a numbing medicine) into a muscle in your lower back. Some participants will receive Bupivacaine, while others will receive Saline (saltwater) as a comparison. Researchers want to see if the QL block helps you need less pain medicine and delays when you first ask for pain relief within 24 hours after surgery. You may be able to join if you are a woman between 18 and 45 years old, have uterine fibroids requiring surgery, and are willing to follow study procedures. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 80 women. Participants will receive either Bupivacaine or Saline injections.
- What's involved
- Not specified in the trial record.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Researchers will track your need for pain medicine for up to 24 hours after surgery.
