- NCT07140640RecruitingPhase 4
Lowering anesthetic dose for C-section safety
This trial tests if using 20% less of a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) during a C-section can reduce the chance of the spinal block going too high. This may lower risks and improve safety for mothers.

Compare two spinal anesthesia bupivacaine dose methods for C-sections
This trial looks at whether adjusting the dose of bupivacaine by height works better than using a standard dose for spinal anesthesia during planned C-sections. It may help improve safety and comfort by aiming for the right level of numbing effect.

Milan, MiAges 18 years+ - NCT06324942Recruiting
Nerve block for C-section pain relief
This study tests whether an extra nerve block (called a TAP block) given by your surgeon during a planned C-section can provide better pain relief than standard care alone. Researchers want to see if it reduces the need for stronger pain medicines after delivery.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - 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.

Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05312658Enrolling by invitation
Aortic compression during C-section to reduce blood loss
This trial studies whether gently compressing the major blood vessel in the abdomen during a C-section can reduce blood loss. It may help you stay safer during surgery, especially by lowering the chance of heavy bleeding.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - 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.

This study tests a new device called U-CaVIT to prevent heavy bleeding after a planned cesarean delivery in women at high risk. It compares the U-CaVIT device to standard care to see which works better.
ZurichAges 18 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 - NCT06614829Recruiting
