Testing a pain-control method after C-section
This study looks at how to better manage pain after a C-section using spinal anesthesia and either a patient-controlled IV pain pump or a specific pain medicine (naldebaein). You may be able to join if you’re scheduled for a C-section at 37–40 weeks and can take the usual pain medicines.

Comparing massage techniques for c-section scar recovery
This study compares two types of gentle manual therapy (myofascial release and deep friction massage) to see which works better for reducing pain, helping the belly recover, and improving a C-section scar. It may be a good option if you're between 30–45, had a C-section over 6 months ago, and still have scar or pelvic pain.
AlexandriaAges 30–45 - NCT07170267Recruiting
Pain relief study for cesarean section
This study tests whether a nerve block in the lower belly wall (transversalis fascia plane block) or a medication injected into the spinal fluid (intrathecal dexmedetomidine) provides better pain relief for mothers having a planned cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 18–40 - NCT06088420Recruiting
Pain relief after cesarean section with nerve blocks
This study compares different nerve blocks for pain control after a planned cesarean delivery. The goal is to find which block provides the best pain relief with fewer side effects.
Asyut, ManfaloutAges 18–40 - NCT05224726Recruiting
Platelet-rich plasma for healing after C-section
This study tests whether a treatment made from your own platelets (platelet-rich plasma) can help the uterus heal after an elective C-section. You may be considered if you are full-term and having a planned C-section.
Ramat Gan, CenterAges 18–52 - NCT06691750Recruiting
Barbed Suture Study for Cesarean Wound Healing
This trial tests if a special type of stitch (barbed suture) used to repair the uterus during cesarean section can reduce the chance of developing a small pocket or gap in the uterine scar, called isthmocele. If you are having a planned or emergency c-section at Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, you may be able to join.

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+ - NCT07604376Recruiting
Nerve Block Pain Relief After Cesarean Delivery
This study tests whether a nerve-numbing injection in the abdomen helps reduce pain after a cesarean (C-section) delivery. The injection uses a local anesthetic to numb the area around your surgical wound, potentially reducing pain and the need for stronger pain medicines after surgery.
Târgu Mureş, Mureș CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT04799912Recruiting
Start labor at 39 weeks to reduce C-sections
This study compares two plans for first-time mothers: inducing labor at 39 weeks versus waiting for labor to start on its own. It aims to see whether induction lowers the chance of needing a C-section in low-risk pregnancies.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT07019623Recruiting
U-CaVIT device vs standard care for preventing heavy bleeding after c-section
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+ - NCT06297499RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ondansetron to prevent itching after C-section
