error with regex \(.+?(\d+)\)

I want to remove from a tetxt any parenthesis that end with a number. So I use this regex : \(.+?(\d+)\)

This regex remove the text like (1980) or (pp. 100) but it will also remove the whole phrase below: 

(etc) and new frontiers in Social Neuroscience (pp. 127-151)

Which regex will ignore the first parenthesis above?

\([^)]*\d+\)

You need to use this.Your regex fails on (etc) and new frontiers in Social Neuroscience (pp. 127-151) as it says find a ( then find the first \d which is 127 here and the find ).
