Quadratus Lumborum Nerve Blocks for Myomectomies

Stopped early · Phase 1 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Laparoscopic Myomectomy, Quadratus Lumborum Nerve Block

In brief

This study would like to compare the use of the current standard of care in pain management for patients undergoing laparoscopic myomectomies to the addition of a quadratus lumborum nerve block plus the standard of care. Patients will be consented and the nerve blocks will be placed after the patients are placed under general anesthesia. Standard pain management will continue regardless of which arm of the study patients are in and measurements of pain scores, narcotic usage and abdominal numbness will be assessed in the post-operative period.
