OuluAges birth–6 hours - NCT04399707Recruiting
Nerve-pain device study for pain after C-section
This study tests whether a small skin electrical nerve stimulator (called TENS) can reduce pain after a planned or not-urgent C-section. You may be more likely to have less pain and use fewer pain medicines if the TENS helps you.
Honolulu, HawaiiAges 18 years+ - NCT05131178Recruiting
Study for pain control after C-section

Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–50 - 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.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06614829Recruiting
C-section wound closure: standard vs. a new skin closure system

Comparing two ways to give pain medicine after C-section
This trial tests two different ways of giving morphine for pain relief after a planned cesarean section: one is injected into the spinal fluid and the other into the space around the spinal cord. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer.
Funchal, MadeiraAges 18 years+ - NCT07430358Recruiting
AI risk assessment for first-time mothers in labor
This trial tests whether artificial intelligence can help predict how labor will go for first-time mothers and whether a C-section might be needed. It involves women who are at full term with a single baby in head-down position and plan to deliver vaginally.
Jerusalem, IsraelAges 18 years+ - NCT07740577RecruitingPhase 4
