Recruiting studies
- NCT07140640RecruitingPhase 4
Lowering anesthetic dose for C-section safety

Cairo, EgyptAges Any age - NCT07312487Recruiting
Pain relief during c-section under spinal anesthesia
This trial looks at whether pain relief is not enough during a cesarean section done with spinal anesthesia. It aims to find ways to improve pain control for mothers.
StrasbourgAges 18–40 - NCT07322419RecruitingPhase 4
Blood pressure medicines during c-section: norepinephrine vs ephedrine
This trial compares two medicines, norepinephrine and ephedrine, to see which one works better at keeping blood pressure stable during a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia. It will help doctors choose the safest option for mothers and babies.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 19–40 - NCT03936790Enrolling by invitation
Testing ropivacaine dose for C-section in taller adults
This trial studies how different doses of ropivacaine (a numbing medicine given into the spine) affect comfort and safety during an elective C-section in taller, otherwise healthy adults. It may help anesthesiologists choose the right dose for this specific body-size group.
Athens, AtticaAges 20–40 - NCT07204795Recruiting
Carbohydrate drink before planned C-section
This study tests if drinking a sugary drink before a planned C-section improves recovery. It may help women feel better after surgery.
ErzurumAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT06282952Recruiting
Stool transplant for C-section babies' health
This trial tests whether giving a special stool transplant (fecal microbiota) to healthy babies born by C-section can improve their health. It aims to see if this treatment helps replace good bacteria that are normally passed during a vaginal birth.
OuluAges birth–6 hours - 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+ - NCT05131178Recruiting
Study for pain control after C-section
This trial looks at how to reduce pain after a C-section (cesarean delivery). You may be able to join if you’re having a scheduled or urgent C-section and can use the planned pain-control method.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–50 - NCT06614829Recruiting
C-section wound closure: standard vs. a new skin closure system
This study compares two types of wound closure after a planned C-section to see which one patients prefer and how it affects healing. It uses a special skin closure system that may reduce scarring and improve your recovery experience.
North York, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07386353RecruitingPhase 4
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.
