Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients aged 18-65 scheduled for abdominal hysterectomy under general anesthesia with ASA classification I-II.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a BMI of 35 or higher, severe organ failure, or certain medical histories may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of two different analgesic techniques, intrathecal morphine and erector spinae plane block, on the quality of postoperative recovery in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy. The study aims to assess recovery quality using the Quality of Recovery-40 questionnaire, focusing on patient-perceived outcomes. By comparing these two methods, the trial seeks to determine which technique provides better pain management and overall recovery experience for patients. The study includes patients aged 18-65 who are classified as ASA I-II and excludes those with certain medical conditions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management strategies and enhanced recovery experiences for patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar analgesic techniques, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
