Recruiting studies
- NCT03298334RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing vaginal bacteria transfer to newborns after C-section
This study looks at whether they can safely place “healthy vaginal bacteria” from the mother into the newborn after a scheduled C-section, and whether it improves the baby’s health. It only enrolls certain mothers and babies based on infection testing and other health factors.

Delivery at 36 vs. 37 weeks for placenta previa with accreta
This trial compares delivering at 36 weeks versus 37 weeks for pregnant women with a condition called placenta previa with accreta, where the placenta covers the cervix and grows too deeply into the womb. The goal is to find the best time for delivery to improve safety for both mother and baby.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–45 - NCT07117708Recruiting
Timing of cesarean consent discussions during labor
This study looks at when to talk with patients about the possibility of an unplanned cesarean section before or during labor. It may help make the consent process less stressful for people who are planning to have their labor started.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07476482Enrolling by invitation
Shared decision-making during planned C-section under spinal anesthesia
This trial tests whether involving you in decisions during your planned C-section can improve your experience. You will be awake under spinal anesthesia and the study focuses on helping you feel more in control.
AlexandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07292662Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for pain after planned cesarean
This study compares two types of pain-relieving nerve blocks (TAP block and ESP block) given during a planned cesarean section. It aims to find which one works better for controlling pain after surgery.
PadovaAges 18–45 - NCT07334418Recruiting
General anesthesia for trauma prevention during C-section
This study tests if giving general anesthesia early during a C-section can reduce traumatic experiences for women who feel severe pain despite standard pain relief options.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07258459Recruiting
Vaginal birth after two cesareans
This trial tests if women who have had two previous cesarean sections can safely have a vaginal birth. It includes pregnant women past 34 weeks with a baby in head-down position.
Pescara, PEAges 18 years+ - NCT06273683Recruiting
Comparing two tubal removal methods during C-section
This study compares two ways of removing the fallopian tubes (salpingectomy) during a planned C-section for permanent birth control. You and your baby will get the same standard care, and the study helps find which technique works best.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges 21 years+ - NCT06030063Recruiting
General Anesthesia for C-section registry study
This study is gathering information from pregnant people who had general anesthesia (being completely asleep) during a C-section. It helps researchers learn more about how to improve care for others in the future.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 15–55 - NCT05731960RecruitingPhase 4
IV steroid test to shorten spinal anesthesia after C-section
This trial tests whether giving dexamethasone through an IV changes how long spinal anesthesia lasts during a scheduled C-section. It may help shorten or improve recovery timing after surgery for some people.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04730609RecruitingPhase 4
Dexmedetomidine to reduce shaking during scheduled C-section
This trial tests whether dexmedetomidine, a calming medicine, can reduce unwanted shaking (shivering) during a planned C-section done with spinal anesthesia. It may help make the surgery and recovery more comfortable.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06927830Recruiting
Nausea & vomiting after planned C-section under spinal anesthesia
This research study looks at how often nausea and vomiting happen after a planned C-section with spinal anesthesia, when standard preventive medicine is given. If you are having a planned C-section with a single baby at over 37 weeks, this study may help doctors understand your risk better.
ChenéeAges 18 years+ - NCT07082530Recruiting
Labor induction at 39 weeks for low-risk pregnant women in China
This study compares inducing labor at 39 weeks to waiting for natural labor in women with low-risk pregnancies. It aims to see if planned induction leads to better outcomes for mothers and babies.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06813989Recruiting
Carotid Blood Flow in Pregnant Women
This study measures blood flow in the carotid artery (a major neck artery) during pregnancy and cesarean delivery. It aims to understand how pregnancy affects blood flow, which may help improve care for mothers.
IstanbulAges 20–40 - NCT06925152RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve block for C-section pain in complex surgery history
This study tests a targeted numbing injection (a nerve block) in the belly wall during C-sections to improve pain control and recovery for people who have had multiple or complex abdominal surgeries. It aims to see if this approach reduces the need for strong pain medicines.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18–50 - NCT06708169Recruiting
Education before C-section to prevent shivering
This trial tests if teaching mothers about what to expect during a planned C-section can reduce the chance of shivering during surgery. It may help you feel more prepared and comfortable.
Seoul, Jongno-guAges 19 years+ - NCT07217899RecruitingPhase 2
Calcium to reduce bleeding after C-section
This trial tests if giving calcium through an IV before a C-section can help reduce blood loss in women at higher risk for heavy bleeding due to the uterus not contracting well.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04304625RecruitingPhase 3
Tranexamic acid to reduce blood loss after C-section
This trial studies whether tranexamic acid can prevent heavy bleeding after a planned or urgent cesarean delivery in people with placenta previa. If you qualify, you may receive the study drug to help your body keep blood loss lower during and after surgery.
BordeauxAges 18–65 - NCT05290129Recruiting
Oxytocin drip during C-section labor to help maintain contractions
This trial tests whether a continuous oxytocin infusion during a C-section helps maintain labor progress in people already receiving oxytocin. It may help reduce labor-related complications, but only if you meet the safety requirements for anesthesia and pregnancy conditions.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–50 - NCT06268431Recruiting
Trial of oxytocin rest to reduce c-section
This trial tests whether taking a break from oxytocin (a medicine used to strengthen contractions) can help reduce the chance of needing a C-section. It is for women whose labor has slowed down despite oxytocin.
Newark, DelawareAges 18–55 - NCT06333340Recruiting
Comparing two medicines to prevent heavy bleeding after planned cesarean
This study compares two medicines—carbetocin and oxytocin—given during a planned cesarean to help prevent heavy bleeding after delivery. It is for women who have certain risk factors for uterine atony (when the uterus does not tighten up after birth).
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–50 - NCT06355271Recruiting
Pain relief and recovery after planned C-section
