SohagAges 18–45 - NCT07241013Recruiting
Amniotic membrane dressing for C-section wound healing
This trial tests a special dressing made from amniotic membrane (the thin sac that surrounds a baby in the womb) and calcium alginate, placed on the C-section incision to help it heal better. It is for women having a planned C-section for a medical reason (like breech baby or previous C-section scar).

Ultrasound vs surgery guidance for numbing during C-section
This trial compares two ways of placing numbing medicine (with bupivacaine) during a planned C-section: an ultrasound-guided approach versus a surgical approach. It aims to find which method provides better pain control and comfort with fewer problems.
CairoAges 21–35 - NCT06102382Recruiting
Comparing two doses of noradrenaline for preventing low blood pressure during C-section
This trial tests two different doses of the drug noradrenaline to see which works better at preventing dangerously low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia for a planned C-section. This is for women who are at least 37 weeks pregnant and within a certain weight and height range.
AsyutAges 19–40 - NCT06339203Recruiting
Saline vs. special antiseptic for c-section wound cleaning
This study compares cleaning the wound with plain salt water versus a diluted antiseptic solution after a planned C-section. The goal is to see which method better prevents infections for mothers with certain health conditions.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06479122RecruitingPhase 4
Pain relief after C-section: acetaminophen with or without ibuprofen
This study compares two common pain relievers after C-section: acetaminophen alone versus acetaminophen plus ibuprofen. It aims to see if the combination offers better pain control after childbirth.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06704490Recruiting
Chronic pain after planned cesarean section
This study looks at how common chronic pain is after a planned cesarean section and what factors might increase that risk. It could help doctors better prevent and manage long-term pain after delivery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 20–50 - NCT07202416Recruiting
Pain relief after c-section: nerve block vs spinal morphine
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section: a nerve block near the spine (ESPB) versus morphine injected into the spinal fluid. The goal is to find which method helps mothers recover more comfortably.
Cesena, ForlìAges 18–45 - NCT07440667Recruiting
Fluid amounts during planned C-section and recovery
This trial compares giving less fluid versus more fluid during planned C-section surgery to see which approach leads to better recovery afterward.
Niğde, MerkezAges 18–45 - NCT07789301Recruiting
Predicting severe pain after planned cesarean with spinal anesthesia
This study looks at how to predict severe pain after a planned cesarean delivery done under spinal anesthesia. It aims to find factors that may help doctors better manage pain after surgery.
Bursa, NilüferAges 18–45 - NCT06357546Recruiting
Avoiding a bladder tube during planned c-section
This study looks at whether it is safe to skip placing a urinary catheter (a tube in the bladder) during a planned cesarean section. The goal is to see if this can lower discomfort and the risk of infection without causing problems.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06956365Recruiting
Comparing two medicines for bleeding during c-section under general anesthesia
This trial compares two drugs, oxytocin and carbetocin, to see which one better controls blood pressure and heart rate changes during cesarean section surgery. Both medicines help the uterus contract after delivery to reduce bleeding.
Van, TuşbaAges 18–40 - NCT06248593RecruitingPhase 4
Continuous Norepinephrine vs Phenylephrine for Cesarean Blood Pressure
This study compares two medicines (norepinephrine and phenylephrine) given continuously through a vein to keep your blood pressure stable during a planned cesarean with spinal anesthesia. It aims to see which medicine works better for you and your baby.
FesAges 18–45 - NCT07686913Recruiting
Steri-Strips vs standard closure for C-section incisions
This study compares using Steri-Strips (a special type of tape) to close the C-section incision versus the standard method. The goal is to see which way helps the wound heal better.
Moreno Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07494955Recruiting
Mindful breathing before spinal for C-section
This trial tests if a short breathing exercise before spinal anesthesia can help keep your blood pressure steady during a planned C-section. You will practice the technique briefly before the procedure.
ErzurumAges 18–45 - NCT06658444Recruiting
Onion gel ultrasound for c-section scar treatment
This trial tests whether a special gel made with onion extract, applied using ultrasound (phonophoresis), can improve the appearance and healing of c-section scars. Participants will have the gel applied to their scar during ultrasound sessions to see if it reduces scar thickness and improves texture.
CairoAges 18–35 - NCT05206682Recruiting
Treating C-section scar defect with hormones versus surgery alone
This trial compares two treatments for a pregnancy-related problem in the uterus: vaginal repair alone versus vaginal repair plus leuprorelin (a hormone medicine). It aims to improve symptoms like long or heavy bleeding when a C-section scar defect is also linked with adenomyosis.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–50 - NCT06344169RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pain relief after C-section with Naldebain
This trial tests a long-acting painkiller, Naldebain, for women having a planned C-section. It aims to see if it provides better pain control after the surgery.
Dalin, Chai-YiAges 20 years+ - NCT07499947Recruiting
Predicting low blood pressure during C-section
This trial looks at whether we can predict which pregnant women will have a sudden drop in blood pressure during a cesarean section. If you're a healthy pregnant woman with a full-term single baby, this study could help improve safety.
KayseriAges 1.5 years–3.8 years - NCT07212361Recruiting
Restoring infant gut bacteria with mother's microbes
This study tests whether giving healthy newborns a special mix of their own mother's friendly bacteria can help build a healthy gut. It is for mothers who had a healthy pregnancy, plan to breastfeed, and live near Helsinki.
HelsinkiAges Up to 50 years - NCT07411521Recruiting
Comparing two pain relief methods after planned cesarean
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section: one combines a spinal and epidural injection, the other is a newer type of nerve block. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
Bursa, NilüferAges 18–45 - NCT07334418Recruiting

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 115 recruiting cesarean section studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a cesarean section trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cesarean section trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
